Let's assume that the length of each side of the square park is "s" meters.
The area of a square is given by the formula A = s^2.
If the charge is $0.10 per square meter, then the total cost for cleaning the park is 0.10A.
We are given that the total cost is $100.00, so we can write the equation: 0.10A = 100.
Substituting the formula for the area of a square, we have: 0.10(s^2) = 100.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.10, we get: s^2 = 1000.
Taking the square root of both sides, we find: s = √1000.
Simplifying the square root, we find: s ≈ 31.62 meters.
Therefore, the length of each side of the park is approximately 31.62 meters.
The total cost of cleaning a square park is
$100.00. If the charge was $0.10 per square
meter what is the length of each of the sides of
the park.
