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?
answer choices: 11 feet, 10 feet, 13 feet, 12 feet, 36 feet of fencing, 49 feet of fencing, 52 feet of fencing, 24 feet of fencing
To find the length of one side of the square garden, we can take the square root of the area.
√147 ≈ 12.12 feet
Therefore, the closest approximate length of one side of the garden is 12 feet.
The perimeter of a square is equal to 4 times the length of one side.
4 x 12 = 48 feet
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is 48 feet, which means you would need approximately 48 feet of fencing to go around it.
48 is not an answer
I apologize for the confusion. You are right, 48 is not one of the answer choices.
Given that the area of the square garden is 147 square feet, and the garden is a square, we can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area.
√147 ≈ 12.12 feet
Therefore, the closest approximate length of one side of the garden is 12 feet.
The perimeter of a square is equal to 4 times the length of one side.
4 x 12 = 48 feet
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is 48 feet, which means you would need approximately 48 feet of fencing to go around it.
Since 48 feet is not one of the answer choices, the closest approximate perimeter given would be 52 feet of fencing.
Eli wants to purchase some new school supplies. He wants to buy a calculator that costs $24 and some notebooks for school. Each notebook costs $2. Eli only has $37 to spend. Let n represent the number of notebooks that Eli buys. Which inequality describes this scenario? (1 point) Responses 2n+24>37 2 n plus 24 is greater than 37 2n+24≤37 2 n plus 24 is less than or equal to 37 37n<2n+24 37n<2n+24 24n+2≤37 24 n plus 2 is less than or equal to 37 37≤2n+24
what is the correct option?
The correct inequality that represents this scenario is:
2n + 24 ≤ 37
This inequality states that the cost of the calculator ($24) added to the cost of the notebooks (2n) is less than or equal to the amount of money Eli has ($37).
