The area of a square boxing ring is 436 square feet. What is the approximate length, in feet, of one side of the boxing ring?
1. 4 ft.
2. 21 ft.
3. 54 ft.
4. 109 ft.
I think that it is 54 ft.
109x4=436
109+109+109+109=436 and since there is 4 corners the answer is 109
How did the the people to answer end up with 21 and 109. WHICH ONE IS IT-
(54 ft)^2 = 2916 ft^2
So I don't think that's it.
I'd say 21
for me 109 was wrong its 21 the square root of 436 is 20.88=21 *-* yw mawah
To find the length of one side of a square boxing ring, we need to find the square root of its area. So, to solve this problem, we can take the square root of 436 square feet.
The square root of 436 is approximately 20.8853 feet.
Since the options provided are in whole numbers, we need to round this number to the nearest whole number.
Rounding 20.8853 to the nearest whole number gives us 21.
Therefore, the approximate length of one side of the boxing ring is 21 ft.
So, your answer is correct. Option 2, 21 ft, is the approximate length of one side of the boxing ring.
