Since your making it into a perfect square you will have 10 squares per side.
Then figure out the length of individual square sides. Which is done like so:
A=s^2 (Formula for area of a square)
5=s^2 (Solve for s)
sqrt(5) = s
So the length of each side is equal to sqrt(5). Meaning the lenght of each side will be 10sqrt(5).

Look at it this way. There are 100 squares so a super-square of these would be ten 5 inch squares on a side. That means there are 10 x 5" = 50" on each side of the super-square. The area would then be, 50" x 50" = 2500 square inches.
Or another way as a check, each 5" square contains 5" x 5" = 25 square inches so 100 of these would be 2500 square inches.
That is a 4' 2" square quilt.

you could make a ten by ten quilt that would be 50 inches by 50 inches
or 4' 2 " by 4' 2"

The square root of 500 sq inches which is equal to 22.3 inches. That is the length of one side of the square quilt.
