Answer 2

how you get area of a square ?

Answer 3

A square has all of its sides equal to each other (in other words known as congruent). Thus, if one side, for example, is equal to 8in., then all of the other sides are 8in. So to find the area of the square, you multiply length x width (in this case 8in. x 8in). What you really have, in simpler terms, \(A = s^2\).

Answer 4

The area of a square can be found by multiplying the base times itself. This is similar to the area of a rectangle but the base is the same length as the height.

Answer 5

`The area of a square can be found by multiplying the base times itself`
This part is very important. From this you derive the formula \(Area = s^2\)

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

What is the area of the square rug?

Answer 8

umm.. 16?

Answer 9

@calculusxy

Answer 10

than you know now that area of a square is side time side and you know that area what is given is equal 79

A = 79 = s^2

s = ?

Answer 11

8?

Answer 12

or 64?

Answer 13

It is as easy as saying what times what equals 79 or close to it. Check your answers by multiplying by themselves.

Answer 14

8.86 * 8.86 is 78.4996

Answer 15

8.87 * 8.87 is 78.6769

Answer 16

8.88 * 8.88 is 78.8544

Answer 17

8.89 * 8.89 is 79.0321

Answer 18

So you can see your answer is D.

Answer 19

yay! okay thx :)

Answer 20

can you help me with some more questions please? :)

Answer 21

Because like they have said above to find the area of a square is it A = s^2

Answer 22

Sure!
