A square field has an area of 479 ft2. What is the approximate length of a side of the field? Give your answer to the nearest foot.
To find the length of a side of the square field, we need to find the square root of its area.
Using a calculator, we can find that the square root of 479 is approximately 21.9089023.
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the approximate length of a side of the field is 22 feet.
To find the length of a side of the field, we can use the formula for the area of a square:
Area = side^2
Given that the area of the field is 479 ft^2, we can set up the equation as:
479 = side^2
To solve for side, we take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√479 = √(side^2)
Taking the square root of 479, we find that √479 is approximately 21.89.
So, the approximate length of a side of the field is 21.89 ft. Rounded to the nearest foot, it is approximately 22 ft.
To find the length of a side of the square field, we can use the formula for the area of a square, which is side length squared (A = s^2).
Given that the area of the field is 479 ft^2, we can set up the equation:
479 = s^2
To solve for s, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√479 = √(s^2)
Simplifying:
√479 ≈ s
Using a calculator, we find that the square root of 479 is approximately 21.9. However, since we are looking for the length of a side of a field given in feet, we round the answer to the nearest foot.
Therefore, the approximate length of a side of the field is 22 feet.
