Answer: 15 feets

Explanation:

Given that :

Area of square shaped lawn = 224.9 ft²

Measurement closest to side length of the lawn :

Since the length is square shaped ;

Area of square formula = a²; where a = side length of the square

Area = a²

224.9 ft² = a²

Take the square root of both sides

√224.9ft² = √a²

14.996666 ft = a

a = 14.996666 ft

a = 15 ft

Hence, the side length of the lawn is closest to 15 feets
