First off let me state that a square is not three square feet. Very few squares have the area of exactly are 3 sqft. The only squares that would cover an area of 3 square feet would be square root of 3 (1.73205081) feet on a side. Is your square 1'8-25/32" on a side? If you can say "yes" then your the answer to your question is "yes".

Interesting side note: A square that is 1' on each side covers 1 square foot, but a square that is 2' on each side covers 4 square feet. This is because we multiply the dimensions to figure out the area of a square. And when we multiply to numbers that are the same it is called squaring. Funny that.

The square root is simply the the name of the task of figuring out what number multiplied by itself makes the number you started with. Ain't math crazy!
