You are welcome.
To find the approximate length of each side of the blanket, we need to take the square root of its area.
The square root of 1,500 square inches is approximately 38.73 inches.
Since the given options do not include this exact value, we can round it to the nearest whole number.
The closest option is 39 inches, so option C is correct.
