Paul is painting a square wall with an area of 115 square feet. To the nearest foot, what is the length of the wall?
A. 11 feet
B. 29 feet
C. 42 feet
D. 58 feet
is the answer c btw
no
√115 = 10.7
How ever did you get 42?
To find the length of the square wall, we need to find the square root of its area.
Step 1: Determine the area of the square wall.
The area is given as 115 square feet.
Step 2: Take the square root of the area.
√115 ≈ 10.72
Now, we need to round this value to the nearest foot, as per the question.
Step 3: Rounding to the nearest foot.
Since the square root of 115 is closer to 11 than 10, we round up.
Therefore, the length of the wall, to the nearest foot, is 11 feet.
So, the correct answer is A. 11 feet.
