To find the side length of a square tile given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a square:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]

If the area is 49 square inches, you can set up the equation:

\[
\text{side length}^2 = 49
\]

To find the side length, take the square root of both sides:

\[
\text{side length} = \sqrt{49}
\]

Calculating the square root:

\[
\text{side length} = 7 \text{ inches}
\]

Thus, the side length of the tile is 7 inches.
