the area of a square tile is found by squaring the length of one side. If the area of the tile is 2/9 square meters, what is the length, in meters, of a side of the tile



Answer :

Answer:

  (√2)/3 ≈ 0.471 m

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the side length of a square tile with an area of 2/9 square meters.

Area

The problem statement tells us the area is ...

  A = s²

  2/9 m² = s² . . . . . . . . use the given area

  s = √(2/9 m²) = (√2)/3 m ≈ 0.471 m . . . . . . . take the square root

The side length of the tile is (√2)/3 ≈ 0.471 meters.
