Question

You have a square flower garden that has an area of 400 square yards. What is the length of one side of the garden?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is calculated by multiplying its height by its base. Because they are the same in a square, the area of a square is obtained by squaring one of its sides. Let's call the sides 'x'. Then we can express the area of the garden as x^2=400.

From here we simply need to square root both sides which gives us:

x=20

Therefore the length of one side of the garden is 20 yards.

Hope this helped!
