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.

Allison claims that the (triangle)ABQ is similar to (triangle)RPQ, given that AB and PR are parallel. Which of Allison's claims
S_A_V [24]
I draw the two triangles, see the picture attached.

As you can see, angle 1 and 2 are vertically opposite angles because they are formed by the same two crossing lines and they face each other.

Angles <span>ABQ and QPR, as well as angles BAQ and QRP, are alternate interior angles because they are formed by </span><span>two parallel lines crossed by a transversal, and they are inside the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal.</span>

Hence, Allison's correct claims are:
1 = 2 because they are vertically opposite angles. 
BAQ = QRP because they are alternate interior angles. 

Therefore Allison, in order to prove her claim, can use the AA similarity theorem: if two angles of a triangle are congruent to two angles of the other triangle, then the two triangles are similar.
