area is length multiplied by width.
because the garden is square the length and width are the same.
Let the length of one side be called x
we can say that the area = x times x
or
which is
to find x we need to find a number which, when squared(multiplied by itself) = 164
to 'undo' the square we take the square root.
(there is a button on most calculators which does this)
