Answer:

3 yards

Explanation:

The area of a square is its length × width, where the length and width are the same:

length × width = 9

Since, the length and width are the same lets call them x

x × x = 9 → x² = 9

To find x, find the square root of 9:

x² = 9 → x = √9 → The square root of 9 is 3

Each side has a length of 3 yards
