To find the length of one side of a square when given the area, you can use the formula:

Area = Side^2

Given that the area is 8 square meters, you can substitute this value into the formula:

8 = Side^2

To solve for the length of one side (Side), you can take the square root of both sides of the equation:

√8 = √(Side^2)

Simplifying further:

√8 = Side

Now, let's calculate the square root of 8:
√8 ≈ 2.83

Therefore, the length of one side of the square is approximately 2.83 meters (rounded to the nearest tenth).
