Answer
$B$
Work Step by Step
We want to find the side of the square given that the area of a square is given by the following formula:
$A = s^2$
Let's solve this equation for $s$ first by taking the square root of $s$:
$s = \sqrt A$
We are given that the area of this square is 32 $m^2$, so we'll plug this value in for $A$ to solve for $s$:
$s = \sqrt {32}$
One way of answering the question in this item is to simply estimate the value of $\sqrt{32}$.
note that $32$ is between the perfect square $25$ and $36$:
$$25<32<36$$
This means the square root of $32$ is between the square roots of $25$ and $36$, which is $5$ and $6$, respectively. Thus, $5
