You can put this solution on YOUR website!
area is length times width
soo, a square with an area of 800 sq/ft would have sides roughly 28.28'
because you have to get the square root of 800 to find the sides if the sides are equal
so a circle inside the square would have a diameter of 28.28' and the radius is half that, so your radius is 14.14'
