8) The cost for cleaning a square football stadium is $200.00. If the cost per square meter is $1.00, what is the length of each side of the stadium?
To find the length of each side of the stadium, we need to first determine the total area of the stadium and then find the length of one side, assuming it is a square.
Since the cost per square meter is $1.00 and the total cost for cleaning the stadium is $200.00, the total area of the stadium is 200 square meters ($200.00 / $1.00 per square meter).
Assuming the stadium is a square, this means that the length of one side is equal to the square root of the total area.
Using the formula for the area of a square, where A represents the total area and s represents the length of one side: A = s^2
We can rearrange the formula to solve for s: s = √A
Plugging in the total area, we get: s = √200
Calculating the square root of 200, we find that the length of each side of the stadium is approximately 14.14 meters.
