Question

You want to get new carpet for a square room that has an area of 150 square feet. You can only order carpet using dimensions to the nearest whole foot. What would be the dimensions of the carpet so that the entire room is covered?

Answer 1

The square root of 150 is 12.2474487139

Rounded to the nearest whole foot would be 13 feet so you would be able to cover the entire room without lost space.

ANSWER 13x13 FT

Answer 2

13by 13 because that is 169 and that always has to be more and 13 by 13 is closest
