Suzanne wants to put a fence around her square garden. If the garden covers an area of 100ft^2, how many feet of fencing does she need.

Answer 1

To find the length of the fence needed to surround the garden, you need to find the perimeter of the square garden.

If the area of the square garden is 100ft^2, then the length of each side of the square is the square root of 100, which is 10ft.

Since the garden is a square, all sides are equal, and the perimeter is the sum of all sides.

So, the perimeter of the garden is 4 x 10ft = 40ft.

Therefore, Suzanne will need 40ft of fencing to put around her garden.
