Wyoming is an approximately square-shaped state. The area of Wyoming is 97,818 square miles. To the nearest mile, what is the perimeter of Wyoming?

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of Wyoming, we need to add up the four sides of the state.

Since Wyoming is approximately square-shaped, we can find the length of one side by taking the square root of its area:
√97,818 ≈ 312.52 miles

Now, to find the perimeter, we simply multiply this length by 4:
312.52 * 4 = 1250.08

Therefore, the perimeter of Wyoming is approximately 1,250 miles to the nearest mile.
