Question

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

1) Side length s = sqrt(205) ≈ 14.318 ft (about 14.3 ft).

2) Perimeter = 4s ≈ 4 × 14.318 ≈ 57.27 ft (about 57.3 ft of fencing).
