Question

the area of a square garden is 267 ft^2 what is the side length of each side? round your answer to the nearest hundredth place. if you had 65ft of fencing, will it be enough to go around and cover the garden? yes or no

Answer 1

• Side Length=16.34 ft
• No

Explanation:

The area of the square garden=
`267$ ft^2`

Area of a Square of Side length s
`=s^2`

Therefore:

`s^2=267$ ft^2\\$Take the square root of both sides\\s=√(267) \\$Side Lenght, s=16.34 ft (to the nearest hundredth place)`

Perimeter

Perimeter of a Square of Side length s=4s

Therefore, the perimeter of the garden =4*16.34=65.36 ft

Since 65 ft < 65.36 ft

Therefore, if you had 65 ft of fencing, it will not be enough to go around and cover the garden.
