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 need to find the square root of its area.
√147 ≈ 12.12
Therefore, the closest approximate length of one side of the garden is 12.12 feet.
To find the approximate perimeter of the garden (and consequently, the amount of fencing required to go around it), we multiply the length of one side by 4 (since a square has 4 equal sides).
Perimeter = 12.12 * 4 ≈ 48.48 feet
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden, and the amount of fencing needed to go around it, is 48.48 feet.
