Silly Gilly · Answer 1

The formula for the area of a square of side s is A = s^2.

Then s^2 = A, and s = + √A.

Here, the approx. side length is s = + √ (75 m^2), or 8.7 m

Myles Jensen · Answer 2

Area of square = a^2

so

a^2 = 75

a = √75

As you know √64 = 8 and and √81 = 9

√75 is between 8 and 9, So it's is closest to 8
