Question

A square technology chip has an area of 25 square centimeters how long is each side of the chip

Answer 1

ANSWER

Each side of the chip is 5 centimeters long.

EXPLANATION

The chip is in the form of a square.

The formula for finding the area of a square is

$Area=l^2$

We were given in the question that, the area is 25 square centimeters. This means that,

$25=l^2$

We take the square root of both sides to get,

$\sqrt{25}=l$

$\Rightarrow 5=l$

Hence the length of the square technology chip is 5 centimeters
