Q. A square bedroom has an area of 81square feet. How long is each side of the bedroom?____ feet
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We are given the area of a square bedroom and need to find the length of one side. The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one side (Area=side2). To find the length of the side, we need to take the square root of the area.
Calculate side length: Calculate the length of one side of the square bedroom.Since the area is 81 square feet, we take the square root of 81 to find the length of one side.81=9
Verify the result: Verify the result.To check our work, we can square the length of the side to ensure it gives us the original area.92=81This confirms that the area of a square with sides of 9 feet is indeed 81 square feet.
