A square has 4 sides that are of equal length. The area of a square is the length of one side multiplied by itself, or squared. So, to find the length from the area you must take the square root of the area, or in other words find that number that when multiplied by itself gives the area.

square root (100) = 10

This is because 10 x 10 = 100

So, each side of the square is 10 inches.
