let a is the side of given square ,
according to question ,
given, area of square = 162
a^2 = 162
a = √162
a = 12.7 cm
hence, the approximate length of the each side of square will be = 12.7cm
your answer : 12.7 cm or 13cm

emonessence:
this is what it said:The square root of the area of a square is equal to its side length. Estimate the side length of the game board by estimating the square root of its area. To estimate a square root of a number, either find the two perfect squares closest to the given number and use the square root of the one that is closest, or use a calculator and round. thank you for the suggestion though :)
yes \
i didn't round up enough it was 13 lol so you were basically right
estimate square root = 12cm ,
yes 13
13×13= 169
