A square garden has an area of 147 square feet.(2 points)
What is the closest approximate length of one of the slides
a.13 feet
b. 12 feet
c. 11 feet
d. 10 feet
What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it?
a. 36 feet of fencing
b. 49 feet of fencing
c. 52 feet of fencing
d. 24 feet of fencing
To find the length of one side of the square garden, we can take the square root of its area.
√(147) ≈ 12.12 feet
So, the closest approximate length of one side of the square is 12 feet.
To find the approximate perimeter of the garden, we can multiply the length of one side by 4 (since all sides of a square are equal).
Perimeter = 12 feet × 4 = 48 feet
The closest approximate perimeter is 48 feet.
The closest options to the above approximations are:
a. 12 feet (for the approximate length of one side)
b. 49 feet of fencing (for the approximate perimeter)
