To find the side length of a square poster given its area, we can use the formula for the area of a square:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{side}^2
\]

In this case, the area is given as 89 square inches. To find the side length, we take the square root of the area:

\[
\text{side} = \sqrt{89}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{side} \approx 9.433981
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth of an inch, we find:

\[
\text{side} \approx 9.4 \text{ inches}
\]

Therefore, you need to cut your poster to be approximately **9.4 inches long and wide**.
