Rachel was carpeting a square-shaped room. The area of the room was 228 square feet. Which of the answer choices shows the length of the room to the nearest whole number

Respuesta :

Since the area has a square -shaped we can conclude that the area is given by:

[tex]A=l^2[/tex]

Where:

l = Length of the side

For A = 228:

[tex]228=l^2[/tex]

Solve for l:

[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\sqrt{228}m \\ l=2\sqrt{57}m \\ l\approx15.1m \end{gathered}[/tex]
