If an area of a square garden is 141 square feet how much fencing is needed to enclose the garden?
x^2 = 141
x = sqrt (141) length of one of the 4 sides
perimeter = 4 x = 4 sqrt (141)
are you sure it is 141 and not 144?
each side is √141 feet long
either 144 or 121 is likely
To find the amount of fencing needed to enclose a garden, we need to calculate the perimeter of the garden. Since the garden is in the shape of a square, all four sides will be of equal length.
To find the length of one side of the square garden, we need to take the square root of the area. So, in this case, we need to find the square root of 141 square feet.
The square root of 141 is approximately 11.87 feet. This is the length of one side of the square garden.
Since all four sides of a square are equal, we multiply the length of one side by 4 to find the perimeter. So the perimeter of the garden is approximately 47.48 feet.
Therefore, approximately 47.48 feet of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.
