The closest side length of each side of the garden is 7 feet .

  • Area is the space covered by an object. It is the realm occupied by all forms. When measuring the area of ​​a square, we only consider  the length of  the sides. Since all sides of a square are equal, its area is equal to the square of the sides which is given by [tex]Area=a^2[/tex] ....(1) where "a" is the side of the square.

It is given that Billy is planting a square garden that is 48 ft.²

Putting A = 48 ft.² in equation (1) , we get

       [tex]48=a^2\\a=\sqrt{48} \\a=6.92[/tex]

which is approximately equal to 7

Hence , closest side will be 7 ft.
