To find the side length of a square wall given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]
Given that the area is 182 square feet, you can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side length}^2 = 182
\]
To find the side length, take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side length} = \sqrt{182}
\]
Calculating the square root:
\[
\sqrt{182} \approx 13.48
\]
Therefore, the side length of the wall is approximately 13.48 feet. The closest measurement to the side length in feet is about 13.5 feet.
