A square garden outside of Tom's apartment has an area of 64 square meters. The area can be represented by the equation x2 = 64 where x is the length of a side of the garden. Enter the length of the garden (in meters).
What is the square root of 64?
To find the length of the garden, we need to solve the equation x^2 = 64.
To do this, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation.
√(x^2) = √64
Simplifying, we get:
x = 8 or x = -8
Since the length of a garden cannot be negative, we can disregard -8 as a solution.
Therefore, the length of the garden is 8 meters.
