About 3.165 miles, I think. I'm doing it mentally, so you'll wanna check it, but the sqr root of 10 is ~3.165

Answer:

One side of the field = 3.162 miles.                  

Step-by-step explanation :

Given : A square field has an area of 10 square miles.

To find : One side of the field.

Solution : Formula of area of square = [tex]\text{side}^2[/tex]

And we know the area A= 10 square miles.

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

[tex]10=s^2[/tex]

[tex]s=\sqrt{10}[/tex]

[tex]s=3.16227[/tex]

Nearest thousandth → s= 3.162

Therefore, one side of the field = 3.162 miles.
