Question

The area of a square room is 125 square feet. To the nearest foot, what is the length of one side of the room?

Answer 1

Answer:

Side = $5\sqrt5\ \text{feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Area of a square room is 125 square feet

We need to find the length of one side of the room.

The area of a square shaped room is given by :

$A=x^2$

Where, x is side of the square room

$x=\sqrt{A} \\\\x=\sqrt{125}\\\\x=\sqrt{5\times 5\times 5}\\\\x=5\sqrt5\ \text{feet}$

So, the side of the room is $5\sqrt5\ \text{feet}$.
