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.
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.
The way to find the missing side of a triangle-THIS ONLY WORKS ON RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLES-is square both sides seperately and then add them together to give you the square of the missing side-find the square root and that is the size of the missing side-eg. if you have a RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE with sides of 3inch and 4inch then (3x3) + (4x4) = 25 so the square root of 25 is 5 meaning the missing side is 5inch.
One way to find a missing side length of a triangle is to use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²). If you know the lengths of two sides, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the missing side. For example, if you have the lengths of the two legs (a and b), you can find the hypotenuse (c) by calculating c = √(a² + b²).
