To find the length of each side of a square given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side}^2
\]
In this case, the area is given as 81 square inches. We can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side}^2 = 81
\]
To find the length of each side, take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side} = \sqrt{81}
\]
\[
\text{side} = 9
\]
Thus, the length of each side of the square is 9 inches.
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side}^2
\]
In this case, the area is given as 81 square inches. We can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side}^2 = 81

To find the length of each side, take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side} = \sqrt{81}

\[
\text{side} = 9

Thus, the length of each side of the square is 9 inches.
