To find the side length of a square wall given its area, we use the formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]
We are given that the area is 182 square feet. To find the side length, we take the square root of the area:
\[
\text{side length} = \sqrt{182}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\sqrt{182} \approx 13.45 \, \text{feet}
\]
Thus, the measurement closest to the side length of this wall is approximately **13.5 feet**.
