Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{269}[/tex] is ≈ 14.01
Step-by-step explanation:
If the table top is a square, to find the area, you would multiply one side times itself.
If you are given the area, and need to find the sides, you will take the square root of the area to find the side length.
Your question doesn't say to round, but 269 is not a perfect square.
[tex]\sqrt{269}[/tex] is ≈ 14.01
If the area of the base was 169, that is a perfect square. [tex]\sqrt{169}[/tex] = 13
