Question

A family decides to grow flowers in their garden. They have 56 feet of fence they want to cut into two pieces to make two square gardens. How long should each piece be if they want the total area of the squares to be 100 square feet?
10
100ft^2/2 = 50 ft^2/sq.

s^2 = 50, s = 7.071 ft.

7.071ft/side * 8sides = 56.57 ft = total required. But we have only 56 ft.



Correction: Ignore the "10".
44 Feet long
