kipiarov [429]

Answer:

117 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of garden = 234 yards

Breadth of garden = 1 yard

She grows roses 1/2 of her garden.

Question asked:

How many square yards are Gini's garden has roses ?

Solution:

First of all we will find area of rectangular garden.

$Area \ of \ rectangle = Length\times breadth$

$=234\times1 =234 \ square \ yards$

Then, as here given half of garden, she grows roses, we will find half of the

rectangular garden.

$\frac{1}{2} \ of 234\\\frac{1}{2} \times234 =117\ square\ yards$

Therefore, 117 square yards of her garden has roses.

$\dfrac{x\sqrt3}{\sqrt{4x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt3}{\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt3}{2\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt3\cdot\sqrt{x}}{2\sqrt{x}\cdot\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt{3x}}{2x}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3x}}{2}\to\boxed{4.}\\\\Used:\\\\\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{a}=a$
