Answer

0.8 cm0.8 \text{ cm}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given information.

    The petri dish is square, and its area is 0.64 cm20.64 \text{ cm}^{2}.

  2. Recall the formula for the area of a square.

    The area AA of a square with side length ss is given by the formula:

    A=s2A = s^{2}

    To find the side length, we take the square root of the area:

    s=As = \sqrt{A}
  3. Substitute the given area into the formula and calculate the side length.

    s=0.64 cm2s = \sqrt{0.64 \text{ cm}^{2}} s=0.8 cms = 0.8 \text{ cm}

    The length of the dish is 0.8 cm\boxed{0.8 \text{ cm}}.
