Question

A square patio has an area of 221 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest 0.05?

Answer 1

221 sq ft.
A square has 4 sides

221/4 = 54.25 ft long

Answer 2

14.87 feet

Explanation:

A square patio has an area of 221 square feet.

Area of the square formula is
`(side)^2`

`(side)^2=221`

To find the side of the square , we take square root on both sides

`√(side^2) =√(221)`

side = 14.86606875

Now round the number to nearest hundredths place. Round to two decimal places.

side = 14.87
