Asquare rug has an area 80ft which is the best approximation of the length of one side of the you can show work
a ) 6.4ft
b ) 7.5ft
c ) 8.9ft
d ) 20ft

So to find the answer, first we need to understand how to approximate square roots. 80 is an imperfect square, so we're going to have to round the answer. To find that, we need to find the multiples 80.

72, 80, 81.
8, x, 9

So the distance apart between 72 and 81 is 9. The answer, x, is obviously between 8 and 9, and since the distance between these to is 9, your answer is going to be 8.9 .

The answer is option c.
