OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (across):

Use the Pythagorean theorem.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

mmk. so we know it's a square and it has an area of 225. how would we find the side length?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a2+b2=c2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o side length is the square root of the area

OpenStudy (across):

Yes, now identify \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) and solve for the unknown variable.
