Michael is installing new baseboard in his living room. The living room is a square and he knows that it is 720 square feet. He needs to determine each wall, so that he'll know how long each piece of baseboard needs to be. Determine the exact length of the baseboard for each wall. Will determining the exact length of an approximate length be most helpful in cutting the baseboard? Explain your reasoning.

s^2=720
The square root of 720 would be the exact length of each wall. This is equal to approximately 26.8328
