Area of a square = s² {one side, squared}
\n" ); document.write( "s² = 60 {substituted 60, in for area, into area formula}
\n" ); document.write( "s = ±√60 {took square root of each side}
\n" ); document.write( "s = ± √4 √15 {broke down the square root of 60}
\n" ); document.write( "s = ± 2√15 {evaluated square root of 4}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The side of a square cannot be negative.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s = 2√15 {one side of the square, in simplest radical form}
\n" ); document.write( "
