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**.
