Question

The area of a square region is 169 m2 (square)

How long is each side of the region?
A. 13m
B. 17m
C. 42.25 m
D 84.5 m
E. 338 m

Answer 1

A. 13m

Explanation:

Because it's a square, all sides will be the same length. And since you're looking at area in m², you can square root the area.

`√(169)` =13

Answer 2

A. 13m

Explanation:

To find the area of a square you multiply Length by the Height. Since squares have equal length sides the number has to be the same for the length and the height.

13 x 13 = 169

`√(169) = 13`
