D. would be the closest it is 296 ft perimeter

austinl · Answer

$Area = length\times~width$

But, for a square,

$Area = s^2$

Where s is side length.

So, we have an area of $295ft^2$

So putting that in,

$295ft^2=s^2$

Do you think you could solve from there?

For the record, it isn't D...
