Question

You want to get new carpet for a square room that has an area of 150 square feet. You can only order carpet using dimensions to the nearest whole foot. What would be the dimensions of the carpet so that the entire room is covered?

Answer 1

75x75 ft since you were given the area of 150 square feet and are told that it is a square, you divide 150 by 2 to get the lengths of the two sides (the dimensions of carpet)
