If the side length is s units then the area is s2 square units. So, given the area, take the principal square root.
The length of each side of a square is numerically equal to the square root of the area.
All four sides of a square are of equal length. To find the area, you square the length of one side. To find the length of one side from the given area, find the square root of the area. In this case, the square root of 25 is 5. Hence, the length of a side is 5 yards.
You find the square root an then label it as the side.
If you have the area, the square root of the area gives the side. For example, if the area is 9, the side is 3 (3 x 3 = 9).
The area of a square is given as the square of a side. So simply take the square root of the area for a side.
Square root the area

If you are given the area, A square units, then each side of the square is sqrt(A) units. And then the perimeter is 4*sqrt(A) units. The smaller square inside is irrelevant.
The length of a side is the square root of the area.
The length of the side of a square with the given area of 81m squared is: 9 meters.
If you are given the area of the square, then the length of each side is the square root of the area. If you are given the length of the diagonal of a square, then the lenght of each side is equal to the length of the diagonal divided by the square root of 2. l=sqrt(a) l=d/[sqrt(2)] l=length of side, d=diagonal, a=area, sqrt means square root
9 metres. Squares have 4 equal sides, so in order to find the side length when given the area, you take the square root of the area.
