The length of the carpet's side is 11 feet

Explanation:

Step 1 :

The area covered by the carpet = 121 square feet

We need to find the length of side of carpet

Step 2 :

Since it is given that the carpet is square, the length of all sides are the same

The area is obtained by squaring the side. Hence to find the side from the given area we need to take the root of the area.

Side² = 121

Therefore side = √121 = 11 feet

Step 3 :

Answer :

The length of the carpet's side is 11 feet
