Given: Area of the square = 280 square inches
Find the length of each side of the square.
Formula for Area of the square: A = l^2
A - represents the area
l - represents the length
Solution:
Solve for l, by taking the square root of l^2
l^2 = A
l = √A
l = √280
l = 16.7
The length of each side of the square is 16.7 inches.
