Final answer:

The length of each side of the quilt is 6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of each side of the quilt, we need to find the square root of the area. The area of the quilt is given as 36 square feet. Taking the square root of 36 gives us the length of each side of the quilt, which is 6 feet.

The area for the square is given, and it is 36. To simply find the length of each side, all you have to do is take the area and square root it. The square root of 36 ( ask yourself what number times itself is equal to 36? To get your answer or input it in the calculator. ) is 6. So, the answer is 6 and each side of the quilt is a length of 6.
