Question

the area is a square is 169 square meters. what is a length (in meters) of one side of the square?

Answer 1

Given Data:

The total area of the square is: A=169 square meters

Let 'a' be the length of a side of the square. The expression to calculate the area of a square is,

$A=a^2$

Substitute values in the above expression.

$\begin{gathered} 169=a^2 \\ a^2=169 \\ a=\sqrt[]{169} \\ a=13\text{ meter} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the length of one side of the square is 13 meter.
