ok this is boggling my mind a pond is generally not in any particular shape. its measured in "square meters" yet asking for the radius which deals with circles. so ill just assum the pond is a perfect square making the radius to be exactly 1/2 of the length or width as they would be the same. so in order to get the length you would have to take the squar root of 44 then to get the radius you would take half of that so: sqrt%2844%29%2F2=r r being radius
that is the only answer i can see from the limited description and its only if the pond is exactly a perfect square.
