Solution
The area of the rectangle = 240 m \[\times\] 70 m = 16800 m2
Given that the area of the square is equal to the area of the rectangle.
Hence, the area of the square will also be 16800 m2.
The length of one side of a square is the square root of its area.
\[\therefore\]\[\sqrt{16800} = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5 \times 7}\]
\[ = 2 \times 2 \times 5\sqrt{2 \times 3 \times 7}\]
\[ = 20\sqrt{42}\text{ m } = 129 . 60 \text{ m }\]
Hence, the length of one side of the square is 129.60 m
