Answer

The side length of the square is $9$ meter.

Work Step by Step

Let the side length of the square is $=a$. Area of the square $A=81$ square meters. Area formula for the square is $\Rightarrow A=a^2$ Substitute $81$ for $A$. $\Rightarrow 81=a^2$ Use $81=9^2$. $\Rightarrow 9^2=a^2$ Take square root on each side. $\Rightarrow 9=a$ Hence, the side length of the square is $9$ meter.
