Question

Tim completely covered a square table using 75.3 in^2 of table cloth without any overlap. Which measurement is closest to the side length of the table?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Length = 8.7\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Square

$Area = 75.3in^2$

Required

Determine the Length of the table

This is calculated using:

$Area = Length^2$

Substitute 75.3 for Area

$75.3 = Length^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{75.3} = Length$

$Length = \sqrt{75.3}$

$Length = 8.67755725997$

The list of options is not given, so I'll just approximate to 1 decimal place

$Length = 8.7\ in$
