Find the length of a side of a square playground whose area is equal to the area of a rectangular field of dimensions 72m and 338 m.

Area of rectangular field = l × b

= 72 × 338 m2


= 24336 m2


Area of square = L2 = 24336 m2


L =


= 156 m


Therefore, 156 m is the length of side of square playground.
