There are two possible answers to the question which stem from ambiguity in the way the language is used.
A 36 cm square is usually a square measuring 36 cm along each side. Consequently, the answer is in the question: the length is 36 cm.
However, it could also refer to a square whose area is 36 square cm. This would legitimately be written as 36 cm2 and so read as 36 cm square! The length of the sides of such a square would be sqrt(36) cm = 6 cm.

How do you find the area of a square and a rectangle?
Multiply the length and width to find the area of both a rectangle and square.
Find the area of a square?
multiply the length by the width(a.k.a the length by the height).
How do you find a square length when you only have the area?
The area of a square is the "length x width" but as these are equal we can put that the area = L2.....where L is the side length of the square. If the value of the area is known then the square root of this figure provides the side length. Example : Area = 36 sq cm, Length L = √36 = 6 cm.
Find the area of a square with length 9 cm.?
Area of the square: 9 times 9 = 81 square cm
If the area of a square field is 2500m square how do you know the dimensions of the field are 50m by 50m?
The field is square, so you know that its length is the same as its width and so, its area is its length times its length. So find the square root of 2500 square metres and that is the length of each side of the square field.
Find the maximum area of the given perimeter 36cm of a rectangle state the length and width?
81 sq cm, for a 9 cm * 9 cm square
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 do you find area of a square?
To find the area of a square you multiply its length by its width.
How do you find area of a square that has sides of length 96 inches?
how do you find area of a square that has sides of length 96 inches
How do you find length from area of square?
Take the square root of the area.
How do you find the length of rectangle or square if the area and width are known?
For a rectangle or square, Area = Length * Width So Length = Area / Width.
How do you find the area of a square and a rectangle?
Multiply the length and width to find the area of both a rectangle and square.
How can you find the length of line segments on dot paper?
Make the segment into a square, find the area of the square, then find the square root of the area because the square root is equal to the side length
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.
How do you find the sides of a square if you have area?
Length of side = square root of area
How do you find the length and width of a square if given the area?
i think you find the square root of the area. that's the length and the width, so you multiply it.
