George has a square sandbox in back yard. the sandbox has an area of 160 square feet. to the nearest foot, what is the length of one side of the sandbox? is the answer 40 or 12, here are the answer choices
12ft
13ft
40ft
80ft
Answered by Ms. Sue
The area us found by multiplying the length times the width. So the area of a square is found by multiplying one side by itself.

What is the square root of 160?
Answered by Mel❤nie
12.64
Answered by Ms. Sue
The answer is neither 40 nor 12.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, now round 12.64 to the nearest foot.

ok hold on one sec for me....
the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26cm. the length of one leg is 24 cm. find the length of the other leg - is it 10?
Four students work to find an estimate for square root 37. Who is closest to finding the true estimate? (1 point)

Rhonda: "Use square root 16 and square root 25 to estimate."
Ricardo: "I use square root 25 and square root 36."
Riley: "It should be between square root 36 and square root 49."****
Rhiannon: "Use square root 49 and square root 64 to estimate."
am i right
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, the other leg is 10.

For the second part, 10 is not between 6 and 7.
