To find the length of one side of a square when the area is sixteen square units, you would take the square root of the area. In this case, the square root of sixteen is four. Therefore, each side of the square would be four units long.
Since you know that a square has four congruent sides, you know that the area is s2. If you want to find the length of one side, take the square root of both sides, so you're left with s= the square root of the area. A square has 4 sides, so to find the perimeter (4s = P), multiply both sides by 4. So you end up with this: P= 4A1/2 where P is the perimeter, A is the area, and the 1/2 means the square root. In simple terms, take the square root and multiply by four.
Area = length * width. A square has four equal length sides, so the length of a side = √24, or approximately 4.90 ft.
A square of perimeter 32cm has 4 sides of length 8cm. Area = Side1*Side2 Area = 8cm*8cm Area=64cm2
The area of a square is found by multiplying two of the equal sides together. A square has four equal sides and the four angles the sides make together are always equal to 90 degrees each. So, a square that is 10 inches by 10 inches has an area of 10 inches x 10 inches=100 square inches.
