To find the perimeter of the square pool, we need to determine the length of each side of the square.

The area of a square is given by the formula: Area = side^2.

In this case, we have the area of the square as 7056 ft^2. So, we can set up the equation:

7056 = side^2

To solve for the side length, we take the square root of both sides:

√7056 = √(side^2)

84 = side

Therefore, each side of the square pool measures 84 ft.

Now, to find the perimeter in yards, we need to convert the side length from feet to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we divide the side length by 3:

84 ft ÷ 3 = 28 yards

So, the perimeter of the square pool is 28 yards.
