I have a square with an area of 16 inches 2. What are the lengths of the sides?
To find the lengths of the sides of a square with an area of 16 square inches, we can use the formula for the area of a square: Area = side length x side length.
Given that the area is 16 square inches, we equate this to the formula:
16 = side length x side length
To solve for the side length, we take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√16 = √(side length x side length)
Simplifying:
4 = side length
Therefore, the lengths of the sides of the square are 4 inches each.
Can I please have some help
a square has four equal sides
s^2 = 16 ... s = √16
the area of a square is length times width
since both are the same, if the side has length s, then
s^2 = 16
s = 4
