Question

The hollenbecks own a square lot with area 3600 square meters. they plan to fence just three sides of this lot. how many meters of fence must they purchase?

Answer 1

Answer: 180 meters

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this we need to find the square root of 3600. 6x6 = 36 so we know the square root is 60. That means that each side of the square lot is 60 meters. If they fence 3 sides they will need to purchase 60x3= 180 meters of fence.
