Impossible. You want an answer that is plus or minus 1/8 of an inch from the true irrational answer, yet you present the area as 150 square units. Not being specific about the area units means that there are infinite answers to the question. The precision the answer would need in order to be correct if the area of the square was 150 square parsecs would be vastly different than a square of 150 square nanometers. Repost your question so that all parts of it are consistent.
