Question:

You have a square blanket that has an area of 1600 square inches. What is the length of one side of the blanket?

Given:

The area of a square blanket = 1600 inches

To Find:

The side of the square

Formula Used:

A = S²

Area = Side x Side

Solution:

Area = 1600 inches

But

Area = S²

Area = Side x Side

1600 =  S²

√1600 = S

S = √1600

S = 40 inches

Answer:

40 inches or

$40\div 39.37$

= 1.016 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of a square = side × side

Let side of square be x

Therefore, x × x = 1,600

x = 40
