To find the length of one dimension of Wyoming, we will follow these steps:
-
Find the length of one side: Since the area of a square is calculated as \( \text{side}^2 \), we can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area.
\[ \text{Length of one side} = \sqrt{97,818} \approx 313 \text{ miles} \]
-
Find the perimeter of Wyoming: The perimeter (P) of a square is calculated as \( P = 4 \times \text{side} \).
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times 313 \approx 1252 \text{ miles} \]
Therefore, the completed statements are:
- Find the length of one dimension of Wyoming by taking the square root of the area.
- The length of one side is approximately 313 miles.
- Find the perimeter of Wyoming by multiplying the side dimension times 4.
- The perimeter of Wyoming is approximately 1252 miles.
