rob is finishing a floor with square tiles.Each tile has an area of 412 cm squared .Estimate the length of the side of each tile .
The area of a square is just = (side length)2
So we have.........
412cm2 = s2
To find the side length, we would take the square root of 412
But, the square root of 412 must be between 20 and 21, because 202 = 400 and 212 = 441
So the side length estimate is between 20 and 21 cm in length
