mrs.berg's kitchen is shaped like a square. The area of the kitchen is 56ft^2. What is the length of her kitchen,to the nearest hundreth?
The square root of 56 is 7.483.
To find the length of Mrs. Berg's kitchen, we need to determine the side length of the square.
The area of a square is given by the formula:
Area = side length × side length
In this case, we know that the area of the kitchen is 56 ft^2. So we can set up the equation:
56 = side length × side length
To solve for the side length, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation. This will undo the squaring operation, giving us the length of one side of the square:
√(56) = √(side length × side length)
Taking the square root of both sides, we have:
√56 = side length
Now, let's calculate the square root of 56 to find the side length. To the nearest hundredth, we get approximately 7.48.
Therefore, the length of Mrs. Berg's kitchen, to the nearest hundredth, is 7.48 ft.
