To find the dimensions of the square tarp with an area of 2.500 square feet, follow these steps:

1. **Understand the Formula:**
   
   For a square, the area $$ A $$ is given by:
   $$
   A = s^2
   $$
   where $$ s $$ is the length of one side of the square.

2. **Solve for $$ s $$:**
   
   Given $$ A = 2.500 $$ square feet,
   $$
   s^2 = 2.500
   $$
   $$
   s = \sqrt{2.500}
   $$
   
3. **Calculate the Square Root:**
   
   $$
   s = \sqrt{2.500} \approx 1.581 \text{ feet}
   $$

4. **Final Dimension:**
   
   Each side of the tarp is approximately **1.58 feet** long.

**Answer:**  
Each side of the square tarp is approximately 1.58 feet long.
Each side of the tarp is about 1.58 feet long.
