 a. 5√3 ft

 b. 8.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the square of the side length, so the side length is the square root of the area:

  s = √A

  s = √(75 ft²) = √(25·3 ft²) = √(3·(5 ft)²)

  s = 5√3 ft ≈ 8.7 ft . . . . . . side length of garden

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
