Answer:
about 14.142ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A square has four equal sides.
The area of a square: length * width = area
Because you know that all of the sides are equal, you can just say:
length * length = area
Multiplying a value (in this case, length) by itself is the same thing as squaring it. So, you can simplify the equation further by writing:
length² = area
Fill in what you know:
length² = 200ft²
Now, work the problem backwards by taking the square root of 200 to find the length:
√length² = √200ft²
length = 14.142ft
So, each wall is 14.142ft long
You can test this by working the problem in reverse:
14.142ft * 14.142ft ≈ 200ft²
