Question

the area of a square is 200 square feet. what is approximate length of each side of the field? round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer 1

Remember that a square has four equal sides, and that if each side of the square is $x$, then the area is $x^2$. So $x^2=200\implies x=\sqrt{200}=\sqrt{100}\cdot\sqrt{2}=10\sqrt{2}\approx 10\cdot 1.414\approx 14.14\approx 14$

Answer 2

Area of a square=side²
Data:
area=200 ft²

Therefore:
200 ft²=side²
side=√(200 ft²)=14.142... ft≈14 ft,


Answer: the lenght of each side of the field is 14 ft.
