Question

The area of the pathway is square, and its area is 196 square cm. Find the length of the pathway.

Answer 1

14 cm

Explanation:

Use the formula for the area of a square, a = s², where s is the side length of the square.

Plug in 196 as the area, then solve for s.

a = s²

196 = s²

14 = s

So, the length of the pathway is 14 cm
