if the side of a square is equal to 3,what is the area of the square?
---
Area of a square = (side)^2
A = 3^2
A = 9 sq. units
---------------------------
Suppose the area is given as 16 sq.m.
What is the measure of its side?
How do you get the answer?
---
A = s^2
Solve 16 = s^2
---
Take the square root of both sides to get:
s = sqrt(16)
side = 4 m
