Question

Julie is digging a square area in her backyard a for a vegtable garden. If the area is 52 square feet, what is the approximate length of one of her garden?
(a) 6 feet
(b) 7 feet
(c) 8 feet
(d) 9 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option will be:   (b) 7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the length of the garden is  $x$ feet.

As the shape of the garden is like a square, then the area of the garden will be: $(length)^2 = x^2$ feet²

Given that, the area is 52 square feet. So, the equation will be.......

$x^2= 52\\ \\ x=\sqrt{52} = 7.211.... \approx 7$

So, the approximate length of the garden will be 7 feet.
