Question

Put responses in the correct input to answer the question.

A. Find the length of one dimension of Wyoming by (Response area) . The length of one side is approximately (Response area)

B. Find the perimeter of Wyoming by (Response area) . The Perimeter of Wyoming is approximately (Response area)

Answer 1

To solve the problems regarding the area and perimeter of Wyoming, we can use the following formulas:

A. Finding the length of one side of Wyoming

1. Area formula: The area $A$ of a square is given by the formula: $$A={\text{side}}^2$$ To find the length of one side, we take the square root of the area: $$\text{side}=\sqrt{A}$$ Substituting in the area of Wyoming: $$\text{side}=\sqrt{97,818}$$ Calculating this: $$\text{side}\approx 312.77\text{ miles}$$

B. Finding the perimeter of Wyoming

2. Perimeter formula: The perimeter $P$ of a square is given by the formula: $$P=4\times \text{side}$$ Substituting in our value for the side length: $$P=4\times 312.77$$ Calculating this: $$P\approx 1,251.08\text{ miles}$$

Final Responses

• A: The length of one side is approximately 312.77 miles.
• B: The Perimeter of Wyoming is approximately 1,251.08 miles.
