If a square lot has an area of 2025 square feet how many feet long is each side?

A.81 feet
B.45 feet
C.1012.5 ft
D.50 ft

1 answer

To find the length of each side of a square lot given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a square:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{side} \times \text{side} = \text{side}^2 \]

Given that the area is 2025 square feet, you can set up the equation:

\[ \text{side}^2 = 2025 \]

To find the length of each side, take the square root of both sides:

\[ \text{side} = \sqrt{2025} \]

Calculating the square root:

\[ \text{side} = 45 \text{ feet} \]

So the length of each side of the square lot is 45 feet. The correct answer is:

B. 45 feet
