The area of a square is found by squaring the length of one side. Therefore, to find the length of each side of the floor, we need to find the square root of the floor area.
The square root of 289 is 17.
Therefore, each side of the floor is 17 feet long.
If a square room has a floor with an area of 289 square feet, how long is each side of the floor?
