rosa quilts a square rug that has an area of 400 square inches. what is the length of each side of the rug?

OpenStudy (jmartinez638):

Since square usually refers to a shape with 4 equal sides, and the formula for the area of a square(lol) is \[x^{2}\] where x equals the length of one side of the square, we can find the length of each side by taking the square root of the area. So, the \[\sqrt{400}\] would yield your answer. Does that make sense?
