Answer 2

the side length of the patio is 14.25 feet

Explanation:

a square patio has a area of 203 square feet.

The formula for the area of the square is side^2

Area of the square =
`a^2`

`a^2=203`

to find out side 'a' we take square root on both sides

Now take square root

`√(a^2) =√(203)`

a= 14.24780685

Round the number to two decimal places

a= 14.25

So the side length of the patio is 14.25 feet
