Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the square root of the lower bound
The area of a square is given by side * side = side². Since the area is between 4200 and 4300 sq. m., the side length must be between √4200 and √4300. √4200 ≈ 64.8
Step 2: Find the square root of the upper bound
√4300 ≈ 65.6
Step 3: Determine possible side lengths
Since the side length is between approximately 64.8 m and 65.6 m, any value within this range would be a possible side length.
