First, calculate the side length by taking the square root of 100, which is 10 inches. Multiply this by 4 to find the perimeter. Thus, the perimeter is 40 inches .

Estimate the side length of the rug by calculating the square root of 11, which is approximately 3.3 meters. Since 3.3 meters is less than both room dimensions (4 m and 5 m), the rug will fit. Therefore, the rug fits into the room .

Calculate the square root of 20 to estimate the side length. The square root of 20 is approximately 4.5, so the side length is estimated to be 4.5 cm .

To estimate the side length for a square backdrop with an area of 27 m², take the square root of 27. The square root of 27 is approximately 5.2, so the estimated side length is 5.2 meters .

Estimate the side length by taking the square root of 950, which is approximately 30.8 inches. Multiply the side length by 4 to find the perimeter. Thus, the perimeter of the frame is roughly 123.2 inches .

Calculate the side length of the rug by taking the square root of 9, resulting in 3 meters. The room's side length is the square root of 16, which is 4 meters. Subtract the rug's side from the room's side (4 - 3) to determine there is a 1 meter space between each side of the rug and the walls .

Estimate the side length by taking the square root of 50. The square root is approximately 7.1, thus the tile's side length is estimated to be 7.1 cm .

Divide the total room area (36 m²) by the area of one rug (9 m²), resulting in 4 rugs needed to cover the area completely .

Calculate the square root of 8 to find the height, which is approximately 2.8 meters. Therefore, the height is roughly 2.8 meters .

Identify numbers with square roots between 7 and 8, which range between 49 and 64. The possible multiples of 12 in this range are 48 and 60. Only 60 has a square root between 7 and 8, as its square root is approximately 7.75. Thus, the number is 60 .
