what is the length of one side of 400 sq in

This is a square, and so all the sides will be the same measurements. Note that you are given an area, so you'll have to root the total area to get a side.
√400 = 20
One side's measurements is 20 in
hope this helps
It's a square, so
A = b * h or l²
l = √A
-------------------------------
l = √400
l = 20 in
