Squares and Square Roots4-5
Think about the relationship between the area of a square and the length of one of its sides.
A number that when multiplied by itself to form a product is the square root of that product. Taking the square root of a number is the inverse of squaring the number.
area = 36 square unitsside length = 6 units because 62= 36
62 = 36 36 = 6
Squares and Square Roots4-5
The numbers 16, 36, and 49 are examples of perfect squares. A perfect square is a number that has integers as its square roots. Other perfect squares include 1, 4, 9, 25, 64, and 81.
Every positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. The radical symbol indicates the nonnegative or principal square root. The symbol – is used to indicate the negative square root.
–49 is not the same as – 49. A negative number has no real square root.

132 = 169
Use the positive square root; a negative length has no meaning. The window is 13 inches wide.
Write and solve an equation to find the area of the window.
Additional Example 2: Application
A square window has an area of 169 square inches. How wide is the window?
So 169 = 13.
The area of a square is s2, where s is the length of a side.
