1. If the area of the square is 250 square inches, what is the length of each side in the simplest form?

The answer is 5√10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is found by using the formula s², or side length × side length. To find the answer, find the square root of 250, which would be about 15.8113883008. To simplify, find the largest perfect square that is the factor of the radicand. Rewrite the radical to the square root of 25 multiplied by its matching factor. Then, you simplify.

1. √250

2. √25•10

3. √25√10

4. 5√10
