Question

George has a square sandbox in the back yard the sandbox has an area of 160 square feet to the nearest foot what is the length of one side of the sandbox

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of one side is 12.65 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is

A=a^2

The "a" represents one side length of a square

You know the total area of the square which is 160ft. So we will plug that into the equation.

160=a^2

Now to find what a is equal to, you need to take the square root of both sides.

√160=√a^2

After square rooting the a^2 that squared cancels out with the square root.

so your answer will be the √160

And the √160 is 12.65ft
