Q. The area of a square market is 25square meters. How long is each side of the market?_____ meters
Define side length: Let s be the side length of the square.Which equation represents the area of a square.The area is the product of the lengths of two sides (since all sides are equal in a square).A=s2
Calculate area equation: Area of square market: 25 square metersWhich equation represents the area of the square market.Substitute 25 for A in A=s2.25=s2
Substitute area value:25=s2What is the length of each side of the market?25=s2To find the side length s, take the square root of both sides of the equation.s=25s=5Side length of the square market: 5 meters
