measuring line segments with square roots (lesson 3)
DESCRIPTION
Students will use the geometric analogy such that if the area of a perfect square is represented by a square number, then the side length can be determined by taking the square root of the area. Example, the side length of a square that has an area of 400 would be 20.TRANSCRIPT

Area to Side Length• To find the side length of any square, you
find the square root of the area.
• If you know the side length, you can find the area, by simply squaring the side length. What are the side lengths of these squares?
