A square garden has an area of 147 square feet.(2 points)
What is the closest approximate length of one of the sides? _______
OPTION: 10 FEET OR 12 FEET OR 11 FEET OF 13 FEET
What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it? _______
OPTION: 49 FEET OF FENCING OR 24 FEET OF FENCING OR 36 FEET OF FENCING OR 52 FEET OF FENCING
To find the length of one side of the square garden, you need to take the square root of its area. In this case, the square root of 147 is approximately 12.124. Therefore, the closest approximate length of one of the sides is 12 feet.
To find the perimeter of the garden, you multiply the length of one side by 4 since all sides of a square are equal. In this case, the perimeter would be approximately 4 * 12 = 48 feet. Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is 48 feet of fencing.
