Answer 3

nevermind

Answer 4

so is that a square area that is 63,300 squar yards?

Answer 5

ya i guess

Answer 6

Ok then you have to think of the area of a square. the area of a square is A=l*l. That is area is equal to length times length.or length times width however you choose to think of it. If you think of it as length times length you can see that area equals lenght squared. use algebra to solve using the known value for area.

Answer 7

so whats the answer

Answer 8

\[a=l ^{2} if a =63,300 then 63,300 =l ^{2} and the \square \root of 63,300 is approximately 795.613 feet\]

Answer 9

that is your answer
