Question

Nixon has a square piece of wrapping paper that has a total area of 200 square inches. Which point on the number line below represents the measurement closest to the side length of the piece of wrapping paper​

Answer 1

x = 14 inches

Explanation:

The area of a square piece of paper is 200 square inches.

We need to find the point on the number line below represents the measurement closest to the side length of the piece of wrapping paper​. It is shown in the attached figure.

Area of a square = x², x is the side length

`x=√(A) \\\\x=√(200) \\\\x=14.142\ \text{inches}`

or

x = 14 inches

So, the side length of the square is 14 inches. It is shown in point A.
