Question

A square room in your house has an area of 85 square feet. What is the approximate length of each side of the room?

Answer 1

9.2 ft

Explanation:

The area of a square is A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = s^2

85 = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(85) = sqrt(s^2)

sqrt(85) = s

9.219544457 =s

9.2 ft is about the length of each side
