Side=s area= $\"A=s%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=s%5E2=126+m%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s%5E2=126+m%5E2\"$ Find square root of each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28s%5E2%29=sqrt%28126+m%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s=sqrt%28126%29+m\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s=sqrt%289%2A14%29+m\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s=3%2A+sqrt%2814%29+m+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The square root of 16 is four and the square root of 12 is about 3.5,
\n" ); document.write( "so the square root of 14 should be in the middle (about 3.75) so estimating 3(3.75)=11.25 so each side is about 11.25 m long
\n" ); document.write( "Since 11 squared is 121, we could have just estimated a bit over 11 m
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
