You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area = L*W
Since it is a square, the length and width are the same
So A+=+L%5E2
121+=+L%5E2 Take the square root of both sides
highlight%2811+=+L%29
You need 11ft for 1 side.
Perimeter of a square = 4*L
P+=+4%2A11
highlight%28P+=+44%29
You need 44ft for the whole perimeter
