George has a square sandbox in the back yard the sandbox has an area of 160 square feet to the nearest foot what is the length of one side of the sandbox

The length of one side is 12.65 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is

A=a^2

The "a" represents one side length of a square

You know the total area of the square which is 160ft. So we will plug that into the equation.

160=a^2

Now to find what a is equal to, you need to take the square root of both sides.

√160=√a^2

After square rooting the a^2 that squared cancels out with the square root.

so your answer will be the √160

And the √160 is 12.65ft
