Explanation:

Step1: Find the side length of the square

The area formula of a square is \(A = s^{2}\), where \(A\) is the area and \(s\) is the side - length. Given \(A=702.25\) square yards. Then \(s=\sqrt{A}\). So \(s = \sqrt{702.25}\). Since \(26.5\times26.5=(26 + 0.5)^{2}=26^{2}+2\times26\times0.5+0.5^{2}=676 + 26+0.25=702.25\), \(s = 26.5\) yards.

Step2: Calculate the perimeter of the square

The perimeter formula of a square is \(P = 4s\). Substitute \(s = 26.5\) into the formula. Then \(P=4\times26.5\). \(4\times26.5=(4\times26)+(4\times0.5)=104 + 2=106\) yards.

Answer:

Length of one side=\(26.5\) yards.
Perimeter of the square=\(106\) yards.
