Question

You want to carpet your new living room. The area of your living room is 121 square feet. If your living room is perfectly square, how long and wide is the carpet?

Answer 1

We know area of a square = side× side

Let the length of each side of the square be s

s×s= 121 sq ft

s²= 121 sq.ft

s=√121

s= 11 ft

11 ft long and wide
