Hello!

Formula for the Area of a Square:


\bf{A=a^(2)

A = area

a = the length of a side of a square

Since we have the area, all we have to do to determine the side length is take the square root of both sides:


\bf{√(82) =\sqrt{a^(2) }

Solve:


\bf{√(82) =a


\bf{a=√(82)


\bf{a=9.06}

Final Answer:

a≈9.06

I hope it helps you.

Good luck and enjoy your day!
