the area of a square is 14 square centimeters. what is the length of a side of the square
x*x = 14 cm²
x=√14 cm.
To find the length of a side of a square, we can use the formula for the area of a square.
The formula for the area of a square is A = s^2, where A represents the area and s represents the length of a side.
Given that the area of the square is 14 square centimeters, we can substitute this value into the equation:
14 = s^2
To solve for s, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√14 = √(s^2)
This simplifies to:
√14 = s
Therefore, the length of a side of the square is approximately equal to the square root of 14.
Let's calculate it:
Using a calculator, we find that the square root of 14 is approximately 3.74 (rounded to two decimal places).
So, the length of a side of the square is approximately 3.74 centimeters.
