Question

The area of a square patch of fabric is 2.25 square inches. What is the side length of the patch?

Answer 1

Answer:

 Side length of the patch = 1.5 inch.

Explanation:

Area of square = a², where a is the side of the square.

Here area is given by 2.25 square inches.

So, we have a² = 2.25 inch²

       So, side of the square is given by $\sqrt{2.25}$

       Side of square, a = 1.5 inch

  Side length of the patch = 1.5 inch.
