Question

Find the side length of a square of area a 256 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

The measure of the side is 16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Area of the square = 256 cm

To find :

The measure of the side of the square

Solution :

$\star$ As we known : $\boxed{\sf{Area = Side \times Side}}$

Consider the Side as x

$\tt{\implies}\:x \times x =256\\\tt{\implies}\:x^{2}=256\\\tt{\implies}\:x=\sqrt{256}\\\tt{\implies}\:x=16$

∴ The measure of the side is 16 cm.

Additional Information :-

About Square :

• A square is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines.

• It has all sides equal

• Each angle of a square is a right angle.

• Perimeter of Square = Side × 4

• Area of Square = Side × Side

Answer 2

Solution :-

Given :-

Area of square = 256 cm².

To Find :-

Side of square.

So, let's find it..

We know that,

Area of square = 256

=) (side)² = 256

=) side = √256

=) side = 16 cm

So, side of the square is 16 cm.

Extra Info :-

Square is a quadrilateral having all its side equal. It's opposite sides are parallel to each other. It's all Angles are of 90° each. Formula to find it's perimeter is (4 × side) and for area , it is (side)².
