A square field has an area of a 479ft^2. What is te approximate length of a side of the field? Show your work
To find the approximate length of a side of the square field, we can take the square root of the area.
The formula for finding the area of a square is A = s^2, where A is the area and s is the length of a side.
In this case, we have A = 479 ft^2, and we want to find s.
Taking the square root of both sides of the equation, we get:
√A = √(s^2)
√479 ft^2 = s
Therefore, the approximate length of a side of the field is √479 feet.
