The question verbatim is;
The area of a certain kind of ceramic tile is 25 square inches. What is the length of one side?
His teacher tells my son the answer is 5 (the topic is Squares & square Roots) while I say the answer is indeterminable.
Without specifying the tile is square, or at least providing its shape and possibly some other dimensions the theoretical answer is anything between infinitely small to infinitely large.
which if us is correct?
