Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of a square is given by the formula $A = s^2$, where $A$ is the area and $s$ is the length of a side. To find the length of a side when the area is 36 square miles, we solve the equation $36 = s^2$, which gives $s = 6$ miles. Negative lengths are not possible for physical dimensions, so $s = 6$ miles is the correct answer.
