Answer 1

To find the side length of the square bulletin board, we need to find the square root of the total area.

√48 = approximately 6.93

So, the side length closest to the actual size would be 7 feet.

Therefore, the closest measurement to the side length of the bulletin board in feet is A) 7 ft.
