Question

6. A square field has an area of 479 ft². What is the approximate length of a side of the field?

Answer 1

Answer:

22 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

All the lengths of a square are the same length.  

The area of a square is the length times the width.  The length and the width are the same measurement.  So, we are looking for the square root of 479.

$\sqrt{479}$

21.88606863 is as far as my calculator goes.  This is an irrational number.  That means that it never repeats or terminates as a decimal.  They tell us to answer to the nearest foot.  That would be 22 feet.
