It is given that the area of window = 49 square feet

Since, window is in the shape of square.

Area of square with side 's' is given by the formula =

We have to find the side of the window.

Since, Area of window = 49 square feet

s * s = 49

s^2 = 49

$s = \sqrt(49)$

s = 7 feet

Therefore, the side of the window is 7 feet long.
