Question

Roslyn’s bedroom is shaped like a square. What are the dimensions of the room if the area of the floor is 196 square feet?

Answer 1

The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one of its sides. If the area of Roslyn's bedroom is 196 square feet, we can find the length of one side (which is also the length of each side since it's a square) by taking the square root of the area.

So, the length of each side would be $$\sqrt{196} \, \text{feet} = 14 \, \text{feet}$$.

Therefore, the dimensions of Roslyn's bedroom are 14 feet by 14 feet. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Answer 2

If Roslyn's bedroom is shaped like a square, then the area of the floor can be calculated using the formula for the area of a square:

Area = side × side

Given that the area is 196 square feet, you can find the dimensions (side length) of the square by taking the square root of the area:

Side length = √(Area)
Side length = √(196)
Side length = 14 feet

So, the dimensions of Roslyn's square-shaped bedroom are 14 feet by 14 feet.
