Question

If the area of a square is multiplied by 16, the area becomes 25 square inches. Find the length x of a side of the square.

Answer 1

1.25 is the length x of a side of the square. Think about it like this. Divide 25 by 16 and you get 1.5625. Then, you do that number squared. So, √1.5625. That gives you 1.25. Hope that helps! Good luck!
