    a. 2,025 ftb. 8,100 is a perfect square.

    Step-by-step & explanation:

    It is a perfect square because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be equally a whole number when divided by 4 or 2,025 exactly on ALL 4 sides and when finding the root of 8,100 it's a perfect 90. As you should already know a perfect square has a given 90 degree angle.

    Tarp = 8,100 sq ft.

    - anchored corners at the base.

    - Square infield.

    Well if there's 4 bases, divide 8,100 by 4.

    8,100 / 4 = 2,025

    One base to another base is 2,025 ft.
