Question

A square technology chip has an area of 25 square centimeters how long is each side of the chip

Answer 1

Each side of the chip is 5 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation

The chip is in the form of a square.

The formula for finding the area of a square is

`Area=l^2`

We were given in the question that, the area is 25 square centimeters. This means that,

`25=l^2`

We take the square root of both sides to get,

`√(25)=l`

`\Rightarrow 5=l`

Hence the length of the square technology chip is 5 centimeters
