The area of a square is 25 square yards find the length of a side?

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.


How can you find the length of a side on a square if you know the square root?

The square root of what? If you take the square root of the area, the answer will be the length of the side. If the area is, for example, in square meters, the length of a side will be in meters.


How do you find the perimeter of a square if you have its area?

-- The perimeter of the square is [4 times the length of one side] . -- The length of one side of the square is [square root of its area] .


Each side of a square is lengthened by 1 in The area of the new square is 121 square inches Find the length of a side in the original square?

The new square has an area of 121, so the length of a side is the square root of 121, or 11. So the length of the side of the old square was 10.


How do you find the length of the side of a square with only the area?

To find the area of a square, where all four sides are of equal length, you simply square the length of one side: for example, the area of a square of four inches is sixteen square inches, or 42 in. To find the length of the side of a square when you only know the area, you simply reverse the process, and take the square root of the area. The square root of 16 is four, for example.
