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