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.

27 squares because both Friday and Saturday he knits 5 squares, if you add them together you will get 10 squares. Then you have to add the 10 squares to the original 17 squares he made.
