A square has an area of 13ft^2
To the nearest tenth, what is its perimeter ?
The square root of 13 is about 3.6
The perimeter is 4 times each side of the square.
To find the perimeter of a square, you need to know the length of one side. In this case, we are given the area of the square, which is 13 square feet.
To find the side length, we can use the formula for the area of a square:
Area of a square = side length^2
Therefore, we can calculate the side length of the square by taking the square root of the area.
√13 = 3.6056 (rounded to four decimal places)
Since a square has four equal sides, the side length of the square is 3.6056 feet.
To find the perimeter, we multiply the side length by 4:
Perimeter = 3.6056 * 4 = 14.4224 feet
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the perimeter of the square is approximately 14.4 feet.
