Answer:

Yes, the approximate length of one side is a prime number less than 25.

The approximate dimensions of the room are 19 ft by 18 ft.

Explanation:

Assuming the dining room is rectangular in shape

Approximate area of the dining room = 342 ft^2

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle by the width.

Assuming the approximate length is a prime number less than 25

The closest prime number to 25 is 19

Approximate length = 19 ft

Approximate width = approximate area ÷ approximate length = 342 ft^2 ÷ 19 ft = 18 ft

Approximate dimensions of the room = 19 ft by 18 ft
