Question

A square patio has an area of 140 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

11.8 ft

Explanation:

mathematically, we know that the area of a square is the square of its side

Let the measure of the side of the patio be p

Mathematically;

p^2 = 140

p = √140

p = 11.83

To the nearest tenth, this is 11.8 ft
