The area of a rectangular space is calculated by multiplying its width (w) by its length (l). In the scenario above, we may assume that the distribution company is in a shape of a square which is also a rectangle. Then, we can designate the side as x. Solving for the area,
x² = 10,000 ft²
The value of x from the generated equation is 100 ft.
Therefore, the most accurate dimension is 100 ft per side.
