The area of a square is given by A=s%5E2 where s is the length of one of the sides. Doesn't matter which side because in a square they are all the same.

Since you are given the area as 14%2C400in%5E2, you need to write the formula like this:

s%5E2=14400

Now all you have to do is take the square root of both sides

sqrt%28s%5E2%29=s=sqrt%2814400%29.

Just use your calculator.
