Twice the area of a square is 72 sq miles, meaning that the area of the square is 36 square miles. Each side must be 6...

You work backwards to solve the problem.
Area= S x2= 72 square miles
If you multiply from left to right, you can divide from right to left.
So, 72 square miles divided by 2 =36 square miles.
Area of a square is s x s,
All sides of a square are equal.
so,
6 miles x 6 miles= the 36 square miles.
The length of each side is 6 miles.

Let length of square be x
Area = x squared
Twice area = 2 x squared
2 x squared = 72
x squared = 36
therefore x =6
Length of each side = 6

Divide 72 by 2. Take the square root of the quotient you just got. The positive root is your answer.
