The side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet
The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:
A = L² where:
L is the side length of the square
Given the area of the square concrete slab = 20 square feet
20 = L²
L =√20
If the area is increased by 25%, new area will be:
An = 20 + (0.25*20)
An = 20 + 5
An = 25 sq.ft
Get the new length
An = Ln²
25 = Ln²
Ln = √25
Ln = 5feet
Hence the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet
