Answer 1

Answer:

Side length, l = 2.23 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Area of a square garden is 5 square feet.

It is required to find the side length of the garden. For a square, its area is given by :

$A=l^2$

l is the side length of a square

$l=\sqrt{A} \\\\l=\sqrt{5} \\\\l=2.23\ ft$

So, the side length of the garden is 2.23 feets.
