what is the difference in length of sides for 2 squares if the area is121m squared and 289m squared
if area is 121, then side=11
what is the side on a 289 square?
honestly bob, that doesnt help
To find the area of a square, you multiply the length times the width. If you know the area of the square, you find its square root to find the length of each side. The square root of 121 is 11.
Now take the square root of 289.
Please post your answer and we'll check it.
is the answer 17
To find the difference in length of sides for two squares with given areas, we need to find the length of sides for each square first.
Let's assume the side length of the first square is represented by "x". Since the area of a square is given by the formula A = x^2, we can set up the equation for the given area of 121m²:
x^2 = 121
To find the value of "x," we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√(x^2) = √121
x = ± 11
Since the side length cannot be negative, we take the positive root and obtain x = 11.
Now let's move on to the second square. Assuming its side length is represented by "y," we can set up a similar equation using the area of 289m²:
y^2 = 289
Again, taking the square root of both sides, we have:
√(y^2) = √289
y = ± 17
Again, since the side length cannot be negative, we take the positive root and obtain y = 17.
Therefore, the side length of the first square is 11m, and the side length of the second square is 17m. To find the difference in length of sides, we subtract the smaller side length from the larger side length:
17 - 11 = 6
So, the difference in length of sides for the two squares is 6m.
