Answer:

9.8ft

Explanation:

We are told in the question that Mrs Drew wants to build a sand box for her children. The shape is Square.

The formula for the Area of a square = L²

L = Side length

The area of the sandbox will be 97 ft.²

Hence,

97ft² = L²

Squareroot both sides

√97ft² = √L²

L = 9.8488578018 ft

Approximately to the nearest tenth (10th) = 9.8 ft

Therefore, the total length of wood mystery needed to make the sides of the sandbox is 9.8ft
