Question

The area of a square game board is 144 sq. In. What's the length of the sides of the board?

Answer 1

So we want to know what is the lenght of the sides of the board that has an area of A=144 in^2. Well, we know that the area of a square is A=a^2 where a is the side of a square. So the length of the side is square root of the area: sqrt(144)= 12. So the length of the game board is 12 inches.
