The answer is: "12 feet" .
________________________________
Note: In a square, the length of EACH of the four sides of the square is the same.
Area = Length * width.
For a square, length = width.
So for a square, Area = length * width = (length of a side)² = s² ,
Given: A = s² = 144 ft² ;
Solve for the positive value of "s" .
________________________________
→ s² = 144 ft² ; Take the "square root" of each side ;
→ √(s²) = √(144 ft²) ;
→ s = 12 ft.

The answer is: 12 ft.

Answer:
If using simple interest, the formula is:
= Amount * ( 1 + rate * time)
= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4% * 5)
= $24,000
Interest = Balance after 5 years - Investment
= 24,000 - 20,000
= $4,000
Using Compound Interest:
= Amount * ( 1 + rate)^time
= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4%)⁵
= $24,333.06
Interest = 24,333.06 - 20,000
= $4,333.06
