Question

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft2. Which measurement is closest to the side length of this yard in feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 14.19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft²

We need to find the side length of this yard in feet.

The area of a square shaped object is given by :

A = a², a is the side length of the object

Put A = 201.5 ft² in above formula,

$201.5=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{201.5 } \\\\a=14.19\ \text{feet}$

So, the side of the square yard is 14.19 feet.
