Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square the formula is A = bh which with a square is essentially one side squared. We know this because every side of a square is the same. We also know that 5 squared is 25 meaning the answer is 5 inches(You could also use the formula A = bh : A = 5 x 5 : A = 25).

Answer:

The side is 5 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square formula:

A = s x s or $s^2$

To figure out the sides, we use this formula:

A = 25 ÷ s = s

But to figure out s = side, think of factors of 25 like this:

25: 1,5,25

Now let's plug in the factors of 25 to figure out the missing side length.

A = 25 ÷ 1 = 25

This is not true.

A = 25 ÷ 5 = 5

This is true.

A = 25 ÷ 25 = 1

This is not true.

So our answer is 5 square inches on each side.

When a certain tree was first planted, it was 4 feet tall, and the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year f

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height = 4 feet

Given that the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year for the next 6 years. At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

Let the rate of growing each year be g.

After 6 years height of tree = 4 + 6g

After 4 years height of tree = 4 + 4g

At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

That is

$4+6g=4+4g+\frac{4+4g}{5}\\\\4+6g=\frac{20+20g+4+4g}{5}\\\\20+30g=24+24g\\\\6g=4\\\\g=\frac{2}{3}ft/year$
