#s = sqrtA#

Use the same formula and change the subject to be #s#. IN other words isolate #s#.

Usually the process is as follows: Start by knowing the length of the side.

#"side " rarr " square the side " rarr " Area"#

Do exactly the opposite: read from right to left

#"side " larr " find the square root " larr " Area"#

In Maths:

#s^2 = A#

#s = sqrtA#
