The area of a square is 15.1 units². estimate the length of the sides. explain how you estimated. 40 points!

If it is just an estimate then it would be around 4. 15.1 is pretty close to 16 which has a perfect square root of 4. Since it is a square both length and width would be the same. To check it you can just square 4 or 4 times 4 and get 16. Hopefully I helped! And sorry if I am wrong.

BTW the exact answer would be 3.88~ (square root of 15.1) just incase you needed that. :)

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
