Question

the area of a square is 200 square feet. what is approximate length of each side of the field? round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer 1

Area of a square=side²
Data:
area=200 ft²

Therefore:
200 ft²=side²
side=√(200 ft²)=14.142... ft≈14 ft,


Answer: the lenght of each side of the field is 14 ft.

Answer 2

Remember that a square has four equal sides, and that if each side of the square is
`x`, then the area is
`x^2`. So
`x^2=200\implies x=√(200)=√(100)\cdot√(2)=10√(2)\approx 10\cdot 1.414\approx 14.14\approx 14`
