Answer :

We are given that the area of a square is 52 square feet. To determine the side length we need to have into account the formula for the area of a square, that is:

[tex]A=l^2[/tex]

Where "l" is the side length and "A" is the area. Solving for "l" by taking square root on both sides:

[tex]\sqrt[]{A}=l[/tex]

Replacing the value of "A":

[tex]\sqrt[]{52ft^2}=l[/tex]

Solving the operations:

[tex]7.2ft=l[/tex]

Therefore, the point that best represents the side length is the second point from left to right, that is, point B.
