Question

tristan wants to build a square garden in his backyard. if the garden is going to be 64 ft squared how many feet of material will he need for the perimeter of the garden?

Answer 1

32 ft

Explanation:

First Tristan must determine the length of one side of his square garden. Sine A = x^2, where x is the length of one side, and since 64 ft^2 = x^2, we can find the length x by taking the square root of both sides: 8 ft = x.

Now the length of the material enclosing the garden is the perimeter, P.

For a square, P = 4x.

Therefore, in this case, P = 4(8 ft) = 32 ft
