Question

The area of a square sandbox is 46 ft.². The nearest foot what is the perimeter of the sandbox?

Answer 1

It is given in the question that

The area of a square sandbox is 46 ft.².

Let the length of the side of the square sandbox is x ft .

And formula of area of square is

$Area = side^2$

Substituting the given value of area

$46 = side^2$

We need to get rid of square, and for that we take square root on both sides

$\sqrt{46}=side$

And the formula of perimeter of square is

$Perimeter=4*side$

$Perimeter=4\sqrt{46}=27ft$
