Answer:

A. 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test.

By applying formula of area of square we got length of side of Jamal's square shaped lawn is 15 ft.

What is square?

A quadrilateral whose all four sides are equal and all four equal angles are equal to 90°is called square .

Given that area of square shaped lawn is224.9 square feet.

We know that area of square is equal to [tex]a^2[/tex] where a is length of side of square .

We can calculate length side of lawn as

Area = [tex]a^2[/tex]

224.9 = [tex]a^2[/tex]

[tex]a= \pm \sqrt{224.9}\\\\\Rightarrow a=\pm 14.9966[/tex]

We know that length of side of square can't be negative so

[tex]a=14.9966\\\\a\approx 15 ft[/tex]

By applying formula of area of square we got length of side of Jamal's square shaped lawn is 15 ft.
