If the area of a square table is 500 inches squared. what is the length of one side

22.361

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 500 is 22.360679775

Make sure to round the number up or down according to the right number of decimals

22² = 484

23² = 529

A quick way to double check your work is to find two numbers nearest your square to find a number that matches for the solution if you plug it in.

Be careful not to confused perimeter with area. Perimeter for a square is P = 4x where area is A = x². Think of a perimeter as if you have to walk the perimeter of a building you would walk around the building, but if you were laying new tiles in your basement, you need to know the area, the amount of space inside the perimiter.

Each side is 125 inches because 500/4 is 125
