Answer: 6.93cm
Explanation:
Let the area of a square be A and the area of a circle be B. Since area of a square is greater than the area of the circle by 12 cm², this means
A = 12cm² + B... (1)
If B = 36cm² which is the area of the circle, substituting this into equation 1,
A = 12cm² + 36cm²
A = 48cm²
Note that Area of a square A = length × length, therefore,
L² = 48cm²
L = √48
L = 6.93cm
The length of the side of a square will be 6.93cm
