Answer:
5/2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is 25/4 squared inches, we could set this as an equation:
[tex]x {}^{2} = (25 \div 4)[/tex]
Now, since 25 and 4 is a perfect square, we could do this:
[tex]x {}^{2} = (5 \div 2) {}^{2} [/tex]
(distribute the square exponent to both 5 and 2 to get the original)
And since the exponent is the same, we can clearly tell x is 5/2 (or square root it)
