Write a quadratic equation that represents the are of each square.
Then find the length of its side using the equation formulated.
Area=256cm^2
Find the square root of 256, it's 16, the length of the side
(x-16)(x-16) = 0
x^2 - 32x + 256 = 0
:
side of the square is 5m width and length 5cm
(x-5)(x-5) = 0
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 0
