Answer:

13.15 in

Explanation:

We know that to get area for a square is

Side x side = side ^2

(normally we would put an algebra for it, but i just write i like this so that it is easier to understand)

OK therfore I can say

Area = side ^2

173 = side ^2

When u bring a square over, it becomes square root

So...

Square root 173 = side

Side = 13.15in
