A square garden has an area of 147 square feet.(2 points)
What is the closest approximate length of one of the sides?
What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it?
To find the approximate length of one side of the square garden, we can take the square root of the area.
√147 ≈ 12.1
So, the closest approximate length of one side is 12.1 feet.
The perimeter of a square can be found by multiplying the length of one side by 4.
Perimeter = 12.1 * 4 = 48.4 feet
Therefore, you would need approximately 48.4 feet of fencing to go around the garden.
