Answer to Problem 59HP

Relation between area of a square and its side length is :

Area of the square =(side)2

or area of the square is equal to the square of its length side.

Also, side length 2 is a rational number, so its area of such square 4 square units and side length 2 is an irrational number, so its area of such square 2 square units.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:  A square and its side lengths.

Formula/Concept used: Area of a square is the square of its side lengths. Also, a rational number is one that is either terminating or non terminating but repeating and irrational number is one that is non repeating, non terminating . Interrelating formula is:

Area of the square =(side)2

Calculation: Let side length of a square is 2 that is rational, so its area =22=4

Let side length of a square is 2 that is rational, so its area =(2)2=2

Conclusion: Thus, the area of a square is the square of its side length as all sides of a square are equal.
