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?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Square

Required

Determine the Length of the table

This is calculated using:

Substitute 75.3 for Area

Take square roots of both sides

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

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
