The area of a square is width x height where both the width and height is the same length because a square has the same lengths on all four sides.
So we can say “3 = L x L” where L is any side length of the square
L times L is just simplified to L squared: “3 = L^2”
We can take the square root of both sides to get rid of the L squared. We are left with “the square root of 3 equals L”.
Sqrt(3) = L
And on a calculator the square root of 3 is 1.73205080757.
1.73205080757 = L.
The square is 4 lines in a box each with the length of 1.73205080757 units.
