If a square has an area of 5, then what is the length of one side?

Explain how you got the answer please.
The formula to compute for the area of square is A = s^2; with s being the measure of the side. Hence, to solve for the length of the side given the area;
5 = s^2
s = the square root of 5.
s = 2.236

How would you represent these formulas algebraically to calculate the surface area of the human body?

1. Three-fifths of the height squared
2. 100 times the surface area of the hand print
3. Twice the height times thigh circumference
Thanks
(3/5)h^2
100S
2hC
h = height
S = hand-print surface
C = thigh circumference

For example.
The circles diameter is 30.2cm. The circles circumfrence is 94.828. How do you find the area of the circle?
You can use the fact that area of a circle is:
A = πr^2.
Note that we can use the circumference to find the radius as well. But we are already given the diameter! So who cares about [...]
