The formula to calculate the area of a square is A = s^2, where A is the area and s is the length of one side.
To find the closest approximate length of one side, we need to take the square root of the area.
√147 ≈ 12.12
The closest approximate length of one side is approximately 12.12 feet.
To calculate the perimeter of the garden, we multiply the length of one side by 4, as a square has all sides of equal length.
Perimeter = 12.12 * 4 = 48.48 feet (approximately)
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden, and the amount of fencing required to go around it, is approximately 48.48 feet.
A square garden has an area of 147 square feet.(2 points)
