Question

The area of a square can be found using the equation A = s², where A is the area and s is the measure of one side of the square. Which equation can be used to represent the side of a square with area of 60 in.2?

Answer 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information Given
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A = s²
A = 60 in²

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find S
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
60 = s²
s² = 60
s = √60
s = √(4 x 15)
s = 2√15 (radical form)
s = 7.75 (nearest hundredth)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : Side of the square is 2√15 in (or 7.75 in)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer 2

Well the opposite of a square is a square root so it would be s=[square root of]60
