Rose has a square garden with an area of 49 square feet. She wants to put a fence around her garden. How much fencing does she need to purchase?
√49 = 7 feet on each side
P = 4s
7*4= 28 <----- your answer
To find out how much fencing Rose needs to purchase, we need to calculate the perimeter of her square garden. Since it is a square, all four sides are equal in length.
To find the length of one side of the square, we can take the square root of the given area of 49 square feet, since the area of a square is equal to the side length squared.
√49 = 7
So, each side of Rose's garden is 7 feet long.
Since a square has four sides of equal length, the perimeter of the square garden can be calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4.
4 x 7 = 28
Therefore, Rose needs to purchase 28 feet of fencing.
