Question 1108258
Area of a square = s²   {one side, squared}
s² = 60   {substituted 60, in for area, into area formula}
s = ±√60   {took square root of each side}
s = ± √4 √15 {broke down the square root of 60}
s = ± 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}
