Question

Elena needs to cut a square piece of wood with an area of 69 square inches.How long should the sides of the square be, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch

Answer 1

You need to find the root of 69 since the length and width are multiplied to get the area, therefore it would be 8.3 inches.

Answer 2

8.03 because you need to take the square root of 69. because the area is side times side = Area. x*x=A. A=69. 69=x^2. sqrt(69)=x
