To find the length of one side of the square garden, we can take the square root of the area.
√147 ≈ 12.12
Therefore, the closest approximate length of one of the sides is 12.12 feet.
To find the approximate perimeter, we can multiply the length of one side by 4 (since all sides of a square are equal in length).
Perimeter = 4 * 12.12 ≈ 48.48
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden, and thus the amount of fencing needed, is 48.48 feet.
