Question

The area of a square can be found using the equation A = s², where A is the area and s is the measure of one side of the square.

Match the equation for how to solve for the side length of a square to its description.

Drag the equation into the box to match the description.
A square has an area of 144 in².
A. s=144 in
B. s=√144 in
C. s=144² in

Answer 1

Given the equation:
\[\large A=s^2\]
You could also rewrite it like this:
\[\large \sqrt{A}=s \]
they give you an area of 144 in^2 sooo:
\[\large \sqrt{144 ~in^2} = s\]

Answer 2

@luigi0210 The s has to go on the other side and the answer you gave does not match any of the answers

Answer 3

You can reverse the order...
\[\large s= \sqrt{144~in^2}\]
