Answer: about 54 ft." .
__________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
____________________
A = L * w ;

A square is a rectangle that has all equation sides;

so; for a square. (L = w).

or, "A = s² " ; in which "s" in the length of any one side.
______________
Since "A = s² "

And "A = 182 ft² " ;

we need to solve for "s" ;

and then find the perimeter of the square with is: "4*s" .
_______________________
A = s² ; ↔ s² = A ; s² = 182 ft² ;

Take positive square root of each side of the equation; to isolate "s" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "s" ;

√(s²) = √(182 ft²) ;

to get: s = √182 ft, = 53.9629502529281659 ft.
_________________________________
The perimeter: 4* s = 4√(182 ft) = 4* (13.4907375632320415 ft.) ;
_________________________________________________
= 53.9629502529281659 ft.
__________________________________________________
round to 54 ft.
