The area of a square garden is 144 square yards. What is the length, in yards, of each side of
the garden?
Answer
yards

Answer 1

Answer:

12 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a square is calculated as

A = s² ( s is the side length )

given A = 144 yd² , then

s² = 144 ( take square root of both sides )

$\sqrt{s^2}$ = $\sqrt{144}$ , that is

s = 12

The length of each side of the garden is 12 yards
