Question 985452
 How do i find the area of a square, without knowing the dimensions of the square? The area of the square is 400 square inches, and i need to know; If x is thee length of one side, how do i set up an equation, and how do i use it? I need to find the length of the sides.

Formula:: Area = (side)^2

Your Problem::
x = sqrt(400)

x = 20 inches
