Answer:
14.14 ft long
Explanation:
Martin bought a new carpet to cover a room. The carpet is in the shape of a square and it covers an area of 200 ft². How long is the side length of the carpet?
The Area the carpet covers is a square.
Hence, the Area of a square = (Side length)²
From the question, we are given the Area of the square = 200 ft²
Hence:
200 ft² = (Side length)²
We square root both sides.
√200 ft² = √(Side length)²
Side length = 14.142135624 ft
Approximately = 14.14 ft
The side length of the carpet is 14.14 ft long
