Answer:

3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

create a proportion:

inches / miles = inches / miles

let 'x' = distance in inches

<u>1/4</u> = <u> x </u>

18    252

18x = 252(1/4)

18x = 63

x = 63 / 18

A square desktop has an area of 324 square inches. What is the length of one side of the desktop
Sveta_85 [38]
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.
