Question

The area of a square is represented by the equation A=s^2 where is the length of one side of the square. If the area of a square is (8x)^2 what would that mean in terms of the side length

Answer 1

This means that length of one side of the square = 8x

Explanation:

A=s^2

where,

A = Area of a square

s = length of one side of the square

If the area of a square is (8x)^2 what would that mean in terms of the side length

A=s^2

(8x)^2 = s^2

Find the square root of both sides

√ (8x)^2 = √s^2

8x = s

s = 8x

This means that length of one side of the square = 8x
