Q. A square sticky note has an area of 49square centimeters. How long is each side?____ centimeters
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We are given the area of a square sticky note and need to find the length of one of its sides.A square has all sides of equal length, so the area is calculated by squaring the length of one side.Area of a square =side length×side length.
Set up the equation: Set up the equation to solve for the side length.Let the side length be represented by 's'.So, the equation based on the area of a square is:s×s=49 cm2
Solve for 's: Solve for 's'.To find 's', we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation:s×s=49cm2s=7cm
