To find the length of one side of a square coffee table with an area of 196 square inches, we can use the formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side}^2
\]
Let \( s \) represent the length of one side of the square. We set up the equation:
\[
s^2 = 196
\]
To find \( s \), we take the square root of both sides:
\[
s = \sqrt{196}
\]
Calculating the square root of 196:
\[
s = 14
\]
Thus, the length of one side of the coffee table is
\[
\boxed{14} \text{ inches}.
