A square garden has an area of 147 square feet.(2 points)
What is the closest approximate length of one of the sides? _____
12 feet
11 feet
10 feet
13 feet
What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it? _____
52 feet fencing
36 feet fencing
49 feet fencing
24 feet fencing
To find the length of one side of the square garden, we can take the square root of its area.
√147 ≈ 12.12
Therefore, the closest approximate length of one side is 12 feet.
To find the perimeter of the square garden, we multiply the length of one side by 4.
12 feet x 4 = 48 feet
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is 48 feet fencing.
