a coast guard shiiip patrols aan area of 125 square miiles the areea the ship ppatrols is a square about how long is each siide of the square round your answer to the nearest miile
Area of square:
A = a²
where
a is length of side
In this case:
A = a²
125 = a²
a = √125 = √( 25 • 5 ) = √25 • √5 =
5 √5 = 5 • 2.23607 = 11.18035
a = 11 miles
rounded to the nearest miile.
