Question 1089457: A circular field 56 ft. in diameter is to be changed to a square field with the same area. Determine length of a side of the square.

Area of circle; pi * r^2
3.1416 * 28^2 = 2463.0144 = 2463 sq. ft. (area of circular field).
Area of square; s^2
Unsure from here. Non-homework.

.
So, your equation is

s%5E2 = 2463.


Next step is to take square root from both sides to get


s = sqrt%282463%29 = 49.63 ft.

Solved.
