Well Area of a Square is A = a^2   so you can plug  52 in for A and take the square root

mrnood · Answer

none of the answers are correct - the length cannot be measured in square feet - length is measured in feet.

mrnood · Answer

however - if the length were 6 feet thene the are would be 6 * 6  (6^2) sq feet = 36 sq ft

do the same with the other answers - and find the nearest to 52 sq feet
