if the area is 169 in^2 what is the length of the side

of a square?

Since the area of a square is given by the formula A = s^2, where A is the area and s is the length of a side, we can rearrange this formula to solve for s:

s = √A

Substituting the given area of 169 in^2 into the formula, we get:

s = √169 = 13

Therefore, the length of the side of the square is 13 inches.
