Question

The square pool at Sammie's gym has an area of 144 square feet. what is the length of one side of the pool

Answer 1

Answer: 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of a square is given by :-

$A=(\text{side})^2$

Given : The square pool at Sammie's gym has an area of 144 square feet.

Let the length of one side of the pool be 'x'.

Then, by the above formula we have

$144=x^2$

Taking square root on both the sides , we get

$x=\sqrt{144}=\sqrt{12^2}=12$

Hence, the length of one sides of pool = 12 feet.

Answer 2

The length of one side of the pool is 12 feet

The shape of the pool is a square

A square is a 2-dimensional quadrilateral with sides of equal lengths.

Characteristics of a square

1. The angles in the square are right angles
2. The sum of angles equal 360 degrees
3. Diagonals are equal in length

Area of a square = length²

144 = length²

In order to determine the length of a side, determine the square root of the area

√144 = 12 feet
