Tasha is planning an expansion of a square flower garden in a city park. If each side of the original garden is increased by 7min the new total of the garden will be 169m squared. Find the lenght of each side.

It will be 13 min because you have to work backwards. The area of a square is the sides squared. Just do the square root of 169 and you get 13.
