The formula for finding the area of a square that has a side length, s, is A = s2. If a square has an area of 40 square units, what is the length of a side?
Answer:
The side length of square is \(2\sqrt{10}\) units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The formula for finding the area of a square that has side length s is given as \(A=s^2\)
Also, given the area of a square is 40 square units.
We have to find the length of the side of square.
Consider the given formula,
\(A=s^2\)
We are given area s 40 square units
So, \(40=s^2\)
Taking square root both sides, we have,
\(\sqrt{40}=s\)
Simplify, we have,
\(s=2\sqrt{10}\) units.
Thus, The side length of square is \(2\sqrt{10}\) units.
