Question

1. the area of a square was 121 square miles. find the length of one side of the square.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a square

The area formula of a square is \(A = s^{2}\), where \(A\) is the area and \(s\) is the side - length.

Step2: Solve for \(s\)

Given \(A = 121\), we have \(s^{2}=121\). Taking the square root of both sides, \(s=\sqrt{121}\).
Since \(11\times11 = 121\), \(s = 11\).

Answer:

The length of one side of the square is \(11\) miles.
