Finding Sidelengths from Square Areas

This video tutorial introduces square numbers and their significance in mathematics. It explains how square numbers are derived by multiplying a number by itself and demonstrates this concept using multiplication tables. The tutorial also covers how to calculate the area of a square using square numbers and how to find the side length of a square when the area is given. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of writing down proofs to demonstrate understanding and facilitate revision.
