Question:
The area of a square is equal numerically to {eq}\displaystyle 14 {/eq} more than {eq}\displaystyle 5 {/eq} times the length of a side. Find the length of a side.
Area of a Square Geometry:
In geometrical methamatics, a square is a quadrilateral whose all four sides are equal in length provided that every angle out of four must be equal to {eq}90^{\circ} {/eq}.
The opposite sides of a square are parallel to each other so a square can also be called an equilateral parallelogram.
The diagonals of a square are congruent in length and they cut each other at the midpoint.
The Pythagorean theorem gives the length of the diagonal of a square.
$$\begin{align} d^{2} &= x^{2}+x^{2} \\[0.3cm] d^{2} &= 2x^{2} \\[0.3cm] \end{align} \\ $$
here {eq}x {/eq} is the side length of the square and {eq}d {/eq} is the diagonal length.
The area of a square is given as the square of its side length-
$$A = x^{2} $$
here {eq}A {/eq} is the area of the square
