A square garden has an area of 147 square feet.
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 garden, we need to find the square root of the area.
√147 ≈ 12.12 feet
The approximate length of one side of the square garden is 12.12 feet.
To find the perimeter of the garden, we can multiply the length of one side by 4 since all sides of a square are equal.
Perimeter = 4 * 12.12 = 48.48 feet (approx.)
The approximate perimeter of the garden is 48.48 feet.
