Question

A square has an area of 25 yd . What is the length of each side? in yd

Answer 1

The length is 5 yd.

Explanation:

A square has 4 equal sides, so that means their all the same.

The formula for the area of a square is
`a^(2) =A`.

Insert 25 to A. This gives you
`a^(2) =25`.

Now, what two numbers(that are the same) give you 25 when you multiply?

5 is the answer. Since this is the square root of 25.

Answer 2

The side length is 5 yds

Explanation:

The area of a square is given by

A = s^2 where s is the side length

25 = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(25) = sqrt(s^2)

5 = s

The side length is 5 yds
