Textbook- Chapter 2.4, Page 79, Question # 15

Kai needs to replace the strip of laminate that is glued to the vertical faces on a square tabletop.
The tabletop has an area of 1.69 m². What length of laminate does she need?

SOLUTION:

Area of a square = Side x Side (length x width)

A = 1.69 m²


Length = √area of square

L = √1.69 m²

L = 1.3 m   


Verify:  1.3² = 1.3 m x 1.3m
                     =  1.69 m²



SSA:  The length Kai needs for the laminate is 1.3 m long.
