18 inches

Step-by-step explanation

the area of a square is given by:


\begin{gathered} \text{Area}_(square)=side\cdot side \\ \text{Area}_(square)=side^2 \end{gathered}

then ,let


\text{Area}=A=324in^2

replace


\begin{gathered} 324in^2=side^2 \\ \text{square root in both sides} \\ \sqrt[]{324in^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{side^2} \\ 18\text{ in=side} \end{gathered}

therefor, the length of the side is 18 inches.

i hope this helps you
