First, we can raise each number to the second power by multipying it by itself. :)
1^2=1
4^2=16
9^2=81
16^2=256
These numbers are called "perfect squares" because their square roots are whole numbers, rather than decimals. For example, If you had a square with an area of 16, the side legnths of the square would be the whole (thus "perfect") number 4. For this reason, 16 (4^2) is considered a "perfect square" number. I hope that makes sense!! :)
Answer: 1. 28 2. 25
Hope this helps!
Didn't know if you wanted the explanation or not, so sorry. But I can put an explanation if you need it.
Answer:
where is simplify question
If Sachiko lets x represent the length of the side of the square and she wants to find the length of the perimeter of the square, it is appropriate for her to ...
... B. Set the area equal to x², solve for x, and then multiply the value of x by 4.
_____
The area of a square of side length x is x·x = x². The perimeter of a square of side length x is x+x+x+x = 4·x.
