To find the side length of a wall with an area of 182 square feet, we can consider the wall as a square. The area \( A \) of a square is given by the formula:
\[
A = s^2
\]
where \( s \) is the side length. To find \( s \), we can rearrange the formula:
\[
s = \sqrt{A}
\]
Substituting the area:
\[
s = \sqrt{182}
\]
Calculating the square root:
\[
s \approx 13.45
\]
Thus, the side length of the wall, when rounded to the nearest whole number, is approximately 13 feet.
