Question

A square field has an area of 10 square miles. What is the approximate length, to the nearest thousandth, of one side of this field?

2.5 miles

Answer 1

About 3.165 miles, I think. I'm doing it mentally, so you'll wanna check it, but the sqr root of 10 is ~3.165

Answer 2

One side of the field = 3.162 miles.

Step-by-step explanation :

Given : A square field has an area of 10 square miles.

To find : One side of the field.

Solution : Formula of area of square =
`\text{side}^2`

And we know the area A= 10 square miles.

`A=s^2`

`10=s^2`

`s=√(10)`

`s=3.16227`

Nearest thousandth → s= 3.162

Therefore, one side of the field = 3.162 miles.
