To find the length of each side of a square pot holder given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]
In this case, the area is 64 square inches. So we can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side length}^2 = 64
\]
To find the side length, take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side length} = \sqrt{64}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{side length} = 8 \text{ inches}
\]
Therefore, the length of each side of the square pot holder is 8 inches.
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]
In this case, the area is 64 square inches. So we can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side length}^2 = 64
\]
To find the side length, take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side length} = \sqrt{64}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{side length} = 8 \text{ inches}
\]
Therefore, the length of each side of the square pot holder is 8 inches.
