Solution
Since the drawing room is square in shape, we need to keep the formula of finding the area of the square while trying to find the measure of the side of the square.
Area of Square → (Side)²
Area of Room = 324 m²
Side = x
Using the formula, let's find the measure of the side of the drawing room.
(x)² = 324
Step 1: Find the square root of both sides of the equation.
⇒ √(x)² = √324
⇒ x = √324
To find the square root, we'll use the prime factorization method.
First, we'll prime factorize 324.
324 → 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
Now we'll pair the prime factors.
324 → (2 × 2) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 3)
Finally, take one prime factor from each pair and multiply.
√324 → 2 × 3 × 3
√324 → 18
∴ x = 18
∴ The length of each side of the drawing room is 18 m
__________________________
Area of room=324²
side=x
x²=324
lets solve it now➡️
Here we will prime factorize 324
324=2×2×3×3×3×3
now as per to the rule we will pair them
324= (2×2) ×(3×3)×(3×3)
now take one prime factor from each➡️
324=2×3×3
18 answer
therefore length of each side of drawing room is 18
