Formulas:

  • If the area of the square is A square units, the length of a side is \sqrt{A} units.
  • If an object is dropped from a height of h feet, the time in seconds it will take to reach the ground is found by evaluating the expression \frac{\sqrt{h}}{4}.
  • If the length of the skid marks is d feet, then the speed of the car can be found by evaluating \sqrt{24d}.
