Step-by-step explanation:

Reed wants to have a square garden plot in his backyard. He has covered enough compost to cover an area of 214 square feet.

His square garden is a square one, and the area of a square is the square of one of it's sides .

So if the area= 214 ft²

Length of one of the side = √(214 ft²)

Length of one of the side= 14.6287 ft

To the nearest tenth of ft

Length of one of the side= 14.6 ft
