Estimate the length of one side of a square floor, if the area is 320 square feet. Give the whole number that is closest to the
amount. A. 17 ft
B. 18 ft
C. 19 ft Estimate the length of one side of a square floor, if the area is 320 square feet. Give the whole number that is closest to the amount.
A. 17 ft
B. 18 ft
C. 19 ft
Let us assume the length of a side of the square floor = x feet Area of the square floor as given in the question = 320 square feet Then x^2 = 320 x^2 = (17.89)^2 Then x = 17.89 = 18 feet approx
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B".
The area of a parallelogram can be found in the same way as that of a rectangle, so base x height. To find the base we have to do area ÷ height or 18 1/3 ÷ 3 1/3= 5.5 feet
