Michelle wishes to build a square pool in her backyard. She has saved enough to build a pool with the area of 150 square feet. W
hat is the length of each side of her pool? (Recall that the area of a square is 2003-04-01-00-00_files/i0200000.jpg, where l is the length of a single side).
When it comes to finding the area of spaces, you must determine its shape. In this case, the shape of the pool is a square. From there, we will use the formula to find the area of a square.
Area = (side)^2
Since the square of the square's side is its total area, then if vice versa, we have to find the square root of the area to find the length. Thus,
