Question 1108258: The area of a square is 60 square inches. What is the length of one side? I知 not allowed round.
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area of a square = sｲ {one side, squared}
sｲ = 60 {substituted 60, in for area, into area formula}
s = ｱ√60 {took square root of each side}
s = ｱ √4 √15 {broke down the square root of 60}
s = ｱ 2√15 {evaluated square root of 4}
The side of a square cannot be negative.
s = 2√15 {one side of the square, in simplest radical form}
