Question

Answer 1

the answer is 11.13 so in nearest tenth it would be 11.1

Answer 2

Option C is correct

11.1 inches

Explanation:

Area of the square(A) is given by:

`A = s^2`

where,

s is the length of one side of the square.

As per the statement:

Avi’s dining room measures 124 square feet and is in the shape of a square.

⇒A = 124 square feet.

By definition we have;

`124 = s^2`

or

`s^2 = 124`

⇒
`s = √(124) = 11.1355287` inches

Therefore, 11.1 inches is the best estimate of the length of one side of the room, to the nearest tenth of a foot
