Answer:

20 yd X 20 yd

Explanation:

Hello

I think i can help you with this

The area of ​​a square is equal to the product side by side.

(1)
A=l*l\\A=l^(2)

Step 1

Let


A=400\ yd^(2)\\

replacing A in (1)


A=400\ yd^(2)\\400\ yd^(2)=l^(2)

isolating l


400\ yd^(2)=l^(2) \\l =\sqrt{400\ yd^(2)}\\l= 20 yd

only the positive root because it is a distance.

hence, the dimensions of the park are 20 yd X 20 yd

Have a great day
