The area of the sqare is side x side.
We use the area cause there were also men inside the sqare, not only on the edges.
SO
side^2+9 (the left over)=335250
side^2=335250-9
side^2=335241
side=sqare root 335241
side=579
so there were 579 rows with 579 soldiers on each row (cause it's a sqare)

Area of the square = side²
335250 = side² + 9
side² = 335250 - 9
side² = 335241
side = √335241
= 579
The general had arranged 579 men in each row.
335250 = side² + 9
side² = 335250 - 9
side² = 335241
side = √335241
= 579
