Question

selenas class is painting a mural on the wall of her school. the mural is a square with an area of 100 square feet. what is the height of the mural? ____ feet

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for square

The area \( A \) of a square is given by \( A = s^2 \), where \( s \) is the side length (which is equal to the height for a square).

Step2: Solve for side length (height)

We know \( A = 100 \) square feet. So, we set up the equation \( s^2 = 100 \). Taking the square root of both sides, we get \( s=\sqrt{100} \). Since \( \sqrt{100} = 10 \), the side length (height) of the square mural is 10 feet.

Answer:

10
