Square feet of a kitchen

Question

You buy 134 square feet of linoleum to cover the floor in a square kitchen. There are 8 square feet of linoleum left over. Approximate the side length of the kitchen to the nearest foot

Answer 1

The area of the kitchen floor is 134 - 8 sq. ft. = 126 sq. ft. Since the floor is square, its dimensions are √126 = 11.22 ft a side.
