Question

The area of a square is 1 square foot. What is the length of each side of the square? a. 1 ft. b. 2 ft. c. 3 ft. d. 4 ft.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1 x 1 = 1 squared

So 1 foot x 1 foot = 1 square foot

Answer 2

Answer:

a. 1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is found by using the formula

A = s^2 where s is the side length of the square

We know the area is 1 ft^2

1 = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(1) = sqrt(s^2)

1 = s

The side length is 1 ft
