A technician is using a digital precision tool to measure the side length of a square-shaped solar panel with an area of square feet. The tool calculates this as . Since is not a perfect square, which of the following describes the decimal expansion of this measurement?
Decimal Characteristics of Non-Perfect Square Roots
True or False: In a construction planning application, if the area of a square floor is square feet, the decimal expansion of its side length () is guaranteed to eventually terminate or repeat a specific pattern.

An inventory system developer is writing code to calculate the exact side lengths of storage bins by taking the square root of their floor areas. When a bin's area is a non-perfect square (for example, calculating ), the software outputs a long decimal value. By mathematical definition, the decimal expansion of the square root of a non-perfect square continues indefinitely, meaning it neither stops nor ____.
