Answer:

15.02 metres

Explanation:

1. To find the length you need to know that the area of a square is s^2 = a (s = side)

2. Plug in the area.

s^2 = 225.6004

s =
√(225.6004)

s = 15.02 metres

Goodluck and have a nice day!

The formula for the area of a square is:

A = Length x Height

You know that all the sides of a square are equal to each other. That means that all the values in the area formula should be the same.

Knowing this you can divide the area by 2 since only two sides are involved in the area formula

225.6004 / 2 = 112.8002

^^^Each side in the square playground is 112.8002 meters

Hope this helped!
