Natasha's backyard is in the shape of a square and that means the length and the width are the same measurement. The area of a square shape is given as

Area = L x W

OR

Area = L² (since the L is the same as the W, it can as well be writen as L x L which is L²)

If the area of her backyard is given as 4096, then

Area = L²

4096 = L²

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

√4096 = L

64 = L

Therefore, one side of Natasha's backyard is 64 feet long
