Question

A square window has an area of 96 square inches. What is the length of each side of the window. Help

Answer 1

What is the equation for the area of a square?

Answer 2

side*side right?

Answer 3

so if the area of the square is 96 than side*side = 96; now solve for side

Answer 4

yea but it has to be in simplest radical form

Answer 5

ah okay so sqrt(96) 96 = 12*8 = (2*2*3)*(2*2*2) right?

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

k so sqrt(2*2*2*2*2*3) = sqrt[(2*2)*(2*2)*2*3] = (2)*(2)*sqrt(2*3) understand how I wrote this?

Answer 8

so answer is \[4*\sqrt{6}\]

Answer 9

ok i get it thank you so much

Answer 10

your welcome, all you are looking for is pairs of multiples of the number under the radical

Answer 11

Thank you ill remember that
