A square garden has an area of 147 square feet. What is the closest approximate length of one of the sides?

3 answers

To find the length of one side of the square garden, we need to find the square root of its area.

The square root of 147 is approximately 12.12435565.

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the closest approximate length of one of the sides is 12 feet.
What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it?
To find the approximate perimeter of the garden, we multiply the length of one side by 4, since all sides of a square are equal.

The length of one side is approximately 12 feet, so 12 x 4 = 48 feet.

Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is 48 feet.
