Answer:
If u are given the area of a square and asked to find the measure of side, then follow this:
We know that area of the square is a² (where a is the lenght of the side)
So we can write it as
Given area=a² and solve the equation created!
Example:
Question:
Given area= 16 cm
Lenght=?
Solution:
According to the question,
16=a²
√16 = a
4 = a
Thus the length of the side will be 4 cm
