What type of function can be used to determine the side length of a square if the independent variable is the square’s area?

Answer 1

The area of a square is the square of the side length, so A = s^2 but this is an equation that has side length "s" as the independent variable. So, let's switch it around. s = square root of the area or s = square root(A)

So the type of function is a square root function.
