What is the side of a square with an area of 289ft

Answer 1

Given that:

Area of the square = A = 289 ft²

To Find:

Side of the square = ?

Solution:

Let the side of the square = X

We know that;

Area of the square = Side A * Side B

Since all the sides of the square are of equal magnitude, so we can denote all of them by the symbol "X"

So, Area of the square = X * X = X²

From the given data:

Area = 289 ft²

So, X² = 289 ft²

Taking square root on both sides:

√X² = √289

X = √17 *17 = √(17)²

X = 17 ft

So, the side of the square is = 17 ft
