the area of a square is 108 ft^2. which of the following represents the length of one side

Answer 1

Area or a square = (side length)²

108 = s² To solve for s, take the square root of both sides.

√108 = √s² Simplify

√36 x √3 = s

6√3 = s

Answer 2

Since it is a square, the equation for the area would be as follows:

x * x = 108

x² = 108

Take the square root of both sides to get:

x = √(108)

x = √(36 * 3)

Since the square root of 36 is 6, move the six to the outside:

x = 6√(3)

x ≈ 10.39 ft
