I don't understand this question so if you don't mind will you help me by showing work so I can understand.
Monica has a backyard in the shape of a square. Which of the following is a possible are of the yard?
A)32 square feet
B)99 square feet
C)64 square feet
D)133 square feet
Actually any of the answers could be the area of a square.
I will assume you meant to say that the side of the square has to be a whole number.
In that case which of the given numbers is a perfect square, that is, which number yields an exact square root?
The formula for the area of a square is:
A = s^2 (s squared)
Find the square root of each of the choices to find the possible area.
its no side it states in the shape of a square.
What is 8 x 8 ?
What do you call a 4 sided figure , all right angles, where each of the side is 8 ?
8 x 8=64
ohhh so 64 would b the answer.
To find the possible area of Monica's backyard, we need to know the formula to calculate the area of a square.
The formula to find the area of a square is:
Area = side length × side length
Since a square has all sides of equal length, we can denote the side length as "s" and substitute it into the formula:
Area = s × s
Now, we can analyze the given options:
A) 32 square feet: This means one side of the square is √32 feet. However, since the side length should be a whole number in this case, 32 square feet is not a possible area for the yard.
B) 99 square feet: This means one side of the square is √99 feet. Again, since the side length should be a whole number, 99 square feet is not a possible area for the yard.
C) 64 square feet: This means one side of the square is √64 feet. In this case, the square root of 64 is 8, so the side length of the square is 8 feet. Thus, 64 square feet is a possible area for the yard.
D) 133 square feet: This means one side of the square is √133 feet. Since the square root of 133 is not a whole number, 133 square feet is not a possible area for the yard.
Therefore, the possible area for Monica's backyard is C) 64 square feet.
