Each side of the field is about 35.43 feet long.

In order to find this, we can use the formula for area of a square.

A = s^2

In which A is equal to area and s is equal to the side length. Now we can plug in the area and solve.

A = s^2

1255 = s^2 ----> Take the square root of both sides

35.43 = s
