the poster is square, so each side is √576 inches
So, grab your calculator and figure that out.
Or, you can start narrowing it down, by noting that
20^2 = 400
21^2 = 441
...
Or, you can start by factoring out squares until you find the root
576 = 4*144, so √576 = 2√144
and so on

man, you are in a world of hurt. The answer is, of course,
2√144 = 2*12 = 24
24^2 = 576
If this simple problem stymies you, you are gonna have a hard time passing the test. You might want to study some real soon now ...
Too bad you are too effin' lazy to even show your attempts (if any) ...

henry2,
A = L * W.
W = L.
A = L * L = L^2.
L^2 = 576.
L = 24 in.
W = 24 in.
W = L.
A = L * L = L^2.
L^2 = 576.
L = 24 in.
W = 24 in.
