Full solution

Q. The area of a square market is 25square meters25\,\text{square meters}. How long is each side of the market?\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_ meters
  1. Define side length: Let ss be the side length of the square.\newlineWhich equation represents the area of a square.\newlineThe area is the product of the lengths of two sides (since all sides are equal in a square).\newlineA=s2A = s^2
  2. Calculate area equation: Area of square market: 2525 square meters\newlineWhich equation represents the area of the square market.\newlineSubstitute 2525 for AA in A=s2A = s^2.\newline25=s225 = s^2
  3. Substitute area value: 25=s225 = s^2\newlineWhat is the length of each side of the market?\newline25=s225 = s^2\newlineTo find the side length ss, take the square root of both sides of the equation.\newlines=25s = \sqrt{25}\newlines=5s = 5\newlineSide length of the square market: 55 meters
