Question

A floor has two square-shaped designs. The area of the second square-shaped design is four times greater than the area of the first square-shaped design. Which statement gives the correct relationship between the lengths of the sides of the two squares?

Answer 1

The length of the side of the second square is 12 times greater than the length of the side of the first square.

The length of the side of the second square is 8 times greater than the length of the side of the first square.

The length of the side of the second square is double the length of the side of the first square.

The length of the side of the second square is 4 times greater than the length of the side of the first square.

Answer 12

that's the area, what's the length

Answer 13
