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 length of one side of the square, we need to find the square root of the area.
The square root of 147 is approximately 12.124.
So, the approximate length of one side of the square garden is 12.124 feet.
To find the perimeter, we multiply the length of one side by 4 (as all sides of a square are equal).
Perimeter = 12.124 * 4 = 48.496
Approximately, the perimeter of the garden is 48.496 feet.
