Question

Mr. Drew wants to build a square sandbox with an area of 121 square feet. What is the total length

of wood Mr. Drew needs to make the sides of the sandbox ?

Answer 1

He needs 44 feet of wood

A= bh

A square means that the sides must be even

So x multiplied by x must equal 121

2x=121

X=11

If we’re looking for how much wood total he will need, so add up the four sides

11+11+11+11=44

So he needs 44 ft of wood
