The total cost for cleaning a square garden is $50.00. if the charge was $0.50 per square meter, what is the length of each side of the garden?
Let's assume the length of each side of the garden is x meters.
The area of a square garden is given by the formula: A = side^2.
So, the area of the garden is x^2 square meters.
The cost of cleaning the garden is $0.50 per square meter, so the total cost is given by the formula: Cost = Rate × Area.
Therefore, we can write the equation: $50.00 = $0.50 × x^2.
To solve for x, we can rearrange the equation and solve for x by dividing both sides by $0.50:
x^2 = $50.00/$0.50
x^2 = 100
x = √100
x = 10
Therefore, the length of each side of the garden is 10 meters.
