A square garden has an area of 205 square feet.(2 points) 1) What is the approximate length of each side of the garden? 2) What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it?

Answer 1

To find the length of each side of the garden, you can take the square root of the area.

1) √205 ≈ 14.28 feet

So the approximate length of each side of the garden is about 14.28 feet.

To find the perimeter of the garden, you can multiply the length of one side by 4 since all sides of a square are equal.

2) 14.28 feet x 4 = 57.12 feet

So the approximate perimeter of the garden is about 57.12 feet. You would need approximately 57.12 feet of fencing to go around it.
