The formula for area of a square is Area = side^2.

You are given the area, so now you have 97,818 = Side^2.

To find Side, take the square root of both sides:

Side = √97818

Side = 312.76 miles.

Rounded to the nearest mile is 313 miles.

Based on the fact that Wyoming is a square-shaped state, one side of Wyoming must be 313 miles.

The area of a square is calculated as:

= Length x Width

All the sides of a square are the same so the length and width of Wyoming are the same. Assuming both of them are x, the relevant equation for area is:

Length x Width = Area

x × x = 97,818

x² = 97,818

x = √97,818

x = 312.76 miles

= 313 miles

In conclusion, one side of Wyoming is 313 miles long.
