The length of a car is [tex]\sqrt{185}[/tex] ft. Will this car fit in a garage that measures 10 ft long? If not, what is the minimum length of a garage that is long enough for this car?

10 is the square root of only 100, so I know that the square root of 185 must be longer.
The square root of 185 is about 13.6 , so the garage must be absolutely not any shorter than 14-ft, and 15-ft or 16-ft would be even better.

The car measuring 185 ​ ft (approximately 13.6 ft) will not fit in a 10 ft garage. A minimum garage length of 14 ft is recommended for comfort. Longer options, such as 15 ft or 16 ft, would provide even more space.
