Okay I have 90 16 inches by 16 inches pavers trying to figure out how big of a square they'll make.

90 pavers can't be arranged in a square, so find out the next smallest number under 90 that is an even square.  That will be the number of pavers on each side.  Then multiply that by the length of 1 paver.

... to get the length of a side.  I'm assuming "how big" means the length of each side.  So 81 is the next lowest square under 90, and 9 is its square root.  So there are 9 pavers on a side, or 9*16 inches on a side.  Divide that by 12 to get feet.

40 X 40 = 1600
 
√160.2 = 12.66
