79 feet square ft of floor so one side of the rug will have to be 19.75 for one side of the ruf

Batman · Answer 2

A = a^2 ... the Area (A) of a square = a^2 ... where a = one side

79 = a^2 ... now take the sqrt of both sides, this eliminates the ^2

sqrt 79 = a

8.888 rounded = 8.89 = a ... so one side = 8.89 ft
