Megan found a company that custom designs rugs to match any room. They charge $16 per square foot. If Megan pays a total of $400 for her Square rug, how long is each side

Answer 1

S = length of the side oft the rug

$S^2$ = the area of the rug

$16S^2$ = the cost of the rug = 400

$S^2$ = 400/16

S = 20/4 = 5
