To find the length of one side of the square with an area of 16 square units, we first need to know the formula for finding the area of a square. The formula for the area of a square is A = s^2, where A is the area and s is the length of one side.
Given that the area of the square is 16 square units, we can set up the equation as follows:
16 = s^2
To find the length of one side, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation:
s = √16
s = 4
Therefore, the length of one side of the square is 4 units.
Explain how you will find the length of one side of a square if the area is 16 square units.
