Answer:

The length is between 14.1 inches and 14.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is 200 square inches

Area of the square formula is (side)^2

EQuate the area and solve for the side length

[tex](side)^2= 200[/tex]

Take square root on both sides

[tex]\sqrt{(side)^2} =\sqrt{200}[/tex]

[tex]side=14.14213562[/tex]

Side length is 14.14213562

The length is between 14.1 inches and 14.2 inches.
