Answer:

17 feet

Explanation:

A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.

Area of a square lawn = length^2

Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet

Area of a square lawn = length^2

289 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√289 = √length^2

17 = length

Length = 17 feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet
