Answer 1

To find the side length of a square garden 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 144 ft², you can set up the equation:

\[ \text{side length}^2 = 144 \]

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

\[ \text{side length} = \sqrt{144} = 12 \text{ ft} \]

Therefore, the side length of the garden is 12 ft.
