Question: The area of a square is 324 square inches. What is the length of one side of the square?
The formula for finding area of squares is:
Length x Width
Squares have 4 sides, and all sides measure the same. If the area is 324 square units, that means the length and width are the same.
x X x=x2
X2=324
x squared(x²) is equal to 324. To find x, you have to do the opposite of squaring, which is finding the square root.
x2= 324 —> square root of 324=x
To find x, you have find the square root of 324.
Square root of 324 is 8
The length of one side is 18 inches
Check:
The formula for finding area is:
Length x Width
The length and width gotten was 18. Put that into the formula:
18 x 18
Multiply:
18 x 18= 324
That means the answer is correct. Your answer is 18 inches.

Explanation:</h2>
For a better understanding of the problem I've built up two triangles from the given triangular shape. So these two triangles are similar. Therefore, we can solve this problem by using ratios and corresponding sides in this way:
But our goal is to find y. Let's call w the height of the small triangle, then:
Applying the concept of ratios again:
