Question

Tristan wants to build a square garden in his backyard that will cover an area of 75 ft.² if Tristan has 32 feet of material for the perimeter of the garden does he have enough?

Answer 1

No, 32 feet of materials is not enough materials

Explanation:

You have to divide the 32 by 4, since it's a square perimeter, meaning that each side is equal to each other. So you end up with 8, but you have an area of 75 feet, and to find the area you multiply the length times width. Because you supposedly have 8 feet for each side, it would be 8 * 8, and that equals 64. Which is not equivalent to the area of 75 feet, so you will need more materials.
