Question

1.)Rosa quilts a square rug that has an area of 400 square inches. What is the length of each side of the rug?

Answer 1

It would be 20 inches
Since 400=x^2
The square root of 400 is 20

Answer 2

By definition, the area of a square is given by:

$A = L ^ 2$

Where,

L: length of the sides of the square

Substituting values we have:

$400 = L ^ 2$

Clearing the value of L we have:

$L ^ 2 = 400$

$L = \sqrt{400}$

$L = 20$

Answer:

The length of each side of the rug is:

$L = 20$
