Answer 2

Lol

This question shouldn't be too hard if i'm thinking about it the right way.

@niahloves Do you still need help?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

@niahloves Okay, so.

The square root of something is just a number that when multiplied by itself equals the number you were trying to find the square root of.

For example, the square root of 86 would be a number that when multiplied by itself, it equals 86.

Now, a square's sides are all always equal. To calculate the area, you multiply one side by the other.

Answer 5

So the square root of 86 can be represented by x.

When x is multiplied by itself, or squared, it equals 86

Answer 6

So it's b?

Answer 7

If I'm thinking about this correctly, your problem says that the length of any side of the square is the square root of 86. I don't care what the square root of 86 is, but for now it's x.

Therefore, the length of any side of the square is x.

To find the area, you multiply 2 sides together.

and what does x * x equal in this case?

Answer 9

I don't know??

Answer 10

Okay, let's start over.

What does the square root mean?

Answer 11

In mathematics, a square root of a number a is a number y such that y2 = a, in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y × y) is a.

Answer 13

@niahloves Did you copy that from somewhere? nevermind

right so you know what a square root is

Answer 14

nope read it off google

Answer 15

@niahloves Sorry, OS is flipping out right now.

Answer 16

Okay, basically the square root of something is a number that when multiplied by itself gives the number you had.

That doesn't really make much sense, hold on, I'll try again

Answer 17

it's ok

Answer 18

So the square root of 4 would be a number that when multiplied by itself gives 4.

What multiplied by itself gives 4?

Answer 19

so the square root is itself 86?

Answer 20

4x1

Answer 21

No!

Focus on the example problem.

What multiplied by what equals 4?

Answer 22

Find the number that when multiplied by itself gives 4

Answer 23

@niahloves Use your brain!

What are the factors of 4?

Answer 24

2x2=4

Answer 25

Exactly!

Therefore, the square root of 4 is 2.

Answer 26

4,8.12,16,20

Answer 27

Now, what is the square root of 16?

The square root is a number that when multiplied by itself gives the other number. So the square root of 16 would be a number that when multiplied by itself gives 16.

So what is the square root of 16?

Answer 28

@niahloves

Answer 29

4

Answer 30

@niahloves I am trying to hurry as fast as I can.

Do you understand why the square root of 16 is 4?

It's because 4 * 4 equals 16.

Answer 31

1,2,4,8,16

Answer 32

Yes ik

Answer 33

Alright.

So, pretend the square root of 86 is equal to x

Answer 34

Now, to find the area of the square, multiply one side by the other. The problem is saying that the length of the side is x.

And because x is the square root of 86, x * x equals?

Answer 35

@niahloves We are so close to being done, just read the post above, and try to understand.

Answer 36

The problem says that the length of all sides is the square root of 86. Just pretend the square root of 86 is x.

To find the area, you always have to multiply one side by the other.



The length of each side is x.

The square root of 86 = x.

To find the area you multiply one side with the other.

x * x equals?????????????????

Answer 37

@niahloves x * x = 86. Therefore the answer is A. I hope you understood.

Medal and fan would be appreciated.
