Question

area of ceiling is 256square feet what is the length of wooded border that I will need to completely surround the square ceiling

Answer 1

The perimeter of the wooded border would be 64. In order to convert the area of a square into its perimeter, you must find the square root of the area and then multiply that number by 4. 

work:
square root of 256 = 16
16 x 4 = 64

good luck
