Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula finding the area of a square.

Area of a square =L²

L is the length of the quilt

Given area of the square quilt = 118ft²

Substituting into the formula;

118 = L²

square root both sides

√L² = √118

L = √118

L = 10.86ft

L ≈ 11ft

The measurement that is closest to the side length of this quilt in feet is 11ft
