A facility manager is designing a square equipment pad that must have an area of exactly 7 square meters. To find the required side length 'x', the manager sets up the equation x² = 7. State the Square Root Property and describe how it is specifically applied to this equation to find all algebraic solutions for x. In your response, explain why the solutions are typically left in radical form for this specific number.
