Question

The area of a square is 144cm2.what is the measurement of each side​

Answer 1

The area of a square is 144 cm^2. The measurement of each side​ is 12 cm

Solution:

Given, The area of a square is 144
`cm^2`

We have to find that what is the measurement of each side.

Now, we know that, area of a square = product of side value with another side value.

Let the side value of given square be "s"

Then, Area of square is given as:

`\begin{array}{l}{\text {area of square}=s * s} \\\\ {\text {Area of square}=s^(2)} \\\\ {144=s^(2)} \\\\ {s=√(144)} \\\\ {s=\sqrt{12^(2)}}\end{array}`

On cancelling square root and square on right side,we get

s = 12

Hence, the side value of the square is 12 cm.
