the area of a square tetherball court is 260 ft2. what is the approximate length of each side of the court? find answer th the nearest foot?
i really have a hard time with these word problem...please help me

Since the sides of a square are all the same, we can take the square root of 260.
√260 = 16.1245 = 16 feet
Sure! I can help you with that word problem.
To find the approximate length of each side of the square tetherball court, we need to calculate the square root of the given area. The formula for the area of a square is side × side, where "side" represents the length of each side of the square.
In this case, the given area is 260 ft². So, we need to find the square root of 260 to determine the length of each side.
To calculate the square root of 260, you can use a calculator or a math software. The square root of 260 is approximately 16.1245.
Since we need to find the length of each side to the nearest foot, we'll round the square root of 260 to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the approximate length of each side of the tetherball court is 16 ft.
So, the answer is the approximate length of each side of the court is 16 feet.
