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 garden, we can take the square root of the area. The square root of 147 is approximately 12.12 feet.
To find the perimeter of the square garden, we can multiply the length of one side by 4. Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden would be 12.12 feet x 4 = 48.48 feet.
if there was no 48 feet what would be the answer
If the closest approximate perimeter of the garden is not exactly 48 feet, we can consider rounding it to the nearest whole number.
In this case, if the actual perimeter is slightly less than 48 feet, we could approximate it as 48 feet. If the actual perimeter is slightly greater than 48 feet, we could round it down to 47 feet.
and if it was no 47
If the closest approximate perimeter is not exactly 47 feet, we would need to consider the next closest whole number.
For example, if the actual perimeter is slightly less than 47 feet, we could approximate it as 47 feet. If the actual perimeter is slightly greater than 47 feet, we could round it up to 48 feet.
