The area of a square is
s • s
We can also write this as
s^2
So, for any side length “s”, we can make a function, A(s), such that
A(s) = s^2
Now that we have a quadratic equation for the area of a square, let’s go ahead and solve for the side lengths of a square with a given area. In this case, 225 in^2
225 = s^2
Therefore,
s = sqrt(225)
s = 15
So, the dimensions are 15 x 15 in
