What I Can Do
Here is another activity that will let you apply what you learned about estimating the
square root of a whole number in the nearest hundredths.
Read and solve the following problems:
1. Ericka owns a square lot with a land area 237 square feet. To the nearest
hundredths of a foot, what is the side length of the kitchen floor?
2. Aevryn wants to use this tile to finish the floor in her room. The room is a
square room and the area of the floor is 441 square feet. She wants to put
8” tiles along the edge of the floor.
a What is the length of one side of the room? 21 feet
b. How many tiles can she fit along one side?
3. You use one gallon of white paint to apply a base coat of paint on a square
wall mural. The paint covers 380 square feet per gallon. Estimate the side
length of the mural to the nearest hundredths of a foot.
