standard_description: Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:
- Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.
- Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.
- Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
problem_activity: The square below has an area of
$${20}$$
square units.

Taylor writes the equation
$$s^2={20}$$
to find the measure of the side length of the square. She reasons that the solution to the equation is
$$\sqrt{20}$$
and concludes that the side length of the square is
$${10}$$
units.
Do you agree with Taylor? Explain why or why not. If you disagree, include the correct side length of the square.
