We have to determine the total length of wood Drew needs to make the sides of the​ sandbox.

Total length of wood required would be equal to perimeter of sandbox.

Let 'a' be the side of the square sandbox.

So, Area of sandbox = 169

a = 13 feet

Total length of wood required to make sides of the sandbox = Perimeter of the square sandbox =

=

= 52 feet.

Therefore, 52 feet of wood is required to make the sides of the square sandbox.
