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. Which equation can be used to represent the side of a square with area of 60 in.2?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Information Given ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A = s² A = 60 in²
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 60 = s² s² = 60 s = √60 s = √(4 x 15) s = 2√15 (radical form) s = 7.75 (nearest hundredth)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Answer : Side of the square is 2√15 in (or 7.75 in) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
