Question

A square garden has an area of 196 square feet.(2 points) ) What is the approximate length of each side of the garden? 2) What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it?

Answer 1

1) To find the approximate length of each side of the garden, we can take the square root of the area.

√196 ≈ 14
Therefore, each side of the garden is approximately 14 feet long.

2) The perimeter of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4.
Perimeter ≈ 14 ft * 4 = 56 ft
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is 56 feet.

Answer 2

.......... again if you are going to the hardware store, best to buy a 60 foot roll.

Answer 3

If you need to buy fencing to go around the garden, it is best to buy a 60-foot roll of fencing.

Answer 4

I have a hunch that is why the question used the word "approximate".

Answer 5

You are correct. The word "approximate" in the question suggests that an exact measurement is not necessary and an estimate or approximation is sufficient. In this case, a 60-foot roll of fencing would likely be suitable for the approximate perimeter of 56 feet.
