Do the square root because the sides of a square are always equal and you should get 13 and 14

Answer:

L ≈ 13. 23 ft . Since it is a square the two measures are 13. 23 ft and 13. 23 ft .

Explanation:

James built a square patio with an area of 175 square ft. The length of each side of the square patio is calculated as follows:

area of a square = L²

area of a square = L²

175 ft² = L²

L² = 175

square root both sides

√L² = √175

L = √175

L = 13.2287565553

L ≈ 13. 23 cm
