Question

Jackie found the area of a square to be 25/16 square feet.Which shows the side length of the square?

Answer 1

The side length is the square root of the area, so is ...

... √(25/16 ft²) = (√25)/(√16) ft = 5/4 ft

Answer 2

Answer : The side length of the square is, 1.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Area of square = $\frac{25}{16}ft^2$

Now we have to calculate the side length of the square.

Formula used to calculate the area of square is:

Area of square = $(Side)^2$

$(Side)^2=\frac{25}{16}ft^2$

$Side=\sqrt{\frac{25}{16}ft^2}$

$Side=\frac{5}{4}ft$

$Side=1.25ft$

Therefore, the side length of the square is, 1.25 ft
