$s = sqrtA$

Use the same formula and change the subject to be $s$ . IN other words isolate $s$ .

Usually the process is as follows: Start by knowing the length of the side.

$"side " rarr " square the side " rarr " Area"$

Do exactly the opposite: read from right to left

$"side " larr " find the square root " larr " Area"$

In Maths:

$s^2 = A$

$s = sqrtA$

The formula for finding the area of a square is A=s^2A=s^2. How do you transform this formula to find a formula for the length of a side of a square with an area A?
