Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 30 \ feet}}

Explanation:

The area of a square is found by multiplying the base and the height, but since all the sides are equal, it is equal to multiplying a side by another side.


a=s*s


a=s^2

We know the square garden has an area of 900 square feet. We can substitute this value in for a.


900 \ ft^2=s^2

Since we are solving for the side, we have to isolate the variable s. It is being squared. The inverse of a square is the square root, so we take the square root of both sides.


\sqrt {900 \ ft^2}= √(s^2)


\sqrt {900 \ ft^2}=s \\


30 \ ft=s

One side of the garden is equal to 30 feet and choice D is correct.
