Question

The are of a square is 36 square centimeters. What is the length of each side of the sqaure

Answer 1

We are given that the area of a square is 36 square centimeters. The area of a square is given by the following formula:

$A=l^2$

Since we are given the area we can replace in the formula:

$36=l^2$

Now we can solve for the length by taking the square root to both sides:

$\sqrt[]{36}=\sqrt{l^2}$

Solving the operations we get:

$6=l$

Therefore, the length of the square is 6 cen
