Answer 4

Yeah I understand that step of the problem, the drawing

Answer 5

the area of the square is 36 square inches

so we know that A = 36

use the formula A = s^2 to get


A = s^2

36 = s^2 ... plug in A = 36

s^2 = 36

s = sqrt(36) ... take the square root of both sides

s = 6


So we now know that the side of the square is 6 inches long
