6.5 in.
13 in.
Start Root 26 End Root in.
negative Start Root 26 End Root in. or Start Root 26 End Root in.
To find the length of a side, s, we need to take the square root of the area, A.
√A = s
Given that the area, A, is 26 in², we can substitute it into the formula.
√26 = s
Thus, the length of a side is approximately 5.1 in.
