Verified Answer :

You were on the right track for 11. You just needed to find the square root of 9 which is 3. And for 15 you square both sides and the answer would just be the square root of 77 since it's not a perfect square and it can't be broken down anymore.

  1. The formular for finding the area of a square is
    A = (a)squared
    Since we are finding the length of each the sides we make a the subject
    A = (a)squared
    √A =√(a)squared
    a = √A
    Given A = 9
    a =√9
    a =3
    Therefore each side of tne photo is 3inches


    15. (b)squared = 77
    To make b the subject we square root both sides of the equation.
    √(b)squared =√77
    b = 8.774964384
