Question

Cory is building a square parking lot for his toy cars. The area of the parking lot is 100 in. How long is one side of the parking lot?

Answer 1

Answer: 10 units squared

Explanation:

A square is a shape that has parallel, congruent sides, meaning that all sides are straight and have the same length.

We know that the area of a shape is the length times the width, and is measured in square units.

Taking all this into consideration, we set up a basic equation.

100 = a • a

`√(100) = \sqrt{a^(2)`

10 units = a
