A square garden has an area of 147 square feet. (2 points)

What is the closest approximate length of one of the sides? _ (10 feet, 11 feet, 12 feet, 13 feet)
What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much
fencing you would need to go around it? _ (24 feet of fencing, 52 feet of fencing, 49 feet of fencing, 36 feet of fencing)

1 answer

To find the length of one side of the square garden, we need to find the square root of 147.

√147 ≈ 12.124

Therefore, the closest approximate length of one side is 12 feet.

The perimeter of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4.

Perimeter = 12 * 4 = 48 feet

Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is 48 feet of fencing.
