Question

If the area of a square is 64 inches squared.what is the length of one side

Answer 1

8 in

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a square:

`A=s^2`

s - side length

We have the area

`A=64\ in^2`

Substitute:

`s^2=64\to s=√(64)\\\\s=8\ in`

`√(64)=8` because
`8^2=64`

Answer 2

8 in

Explanation:

Area of a square is given by

A = s^2 where s is the side length

64 in^2 = s^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(64 in^2) = sqrt(s^2)

8 in =s
