Question

The area of the city of Vancouver is 115 km^2. if the shape of Vancouver is approximately a square, how wide is the city of Vancouver to the nearest tenth of a kilometre?

Answer 1

Answer:

The wide of the city is 10.7km

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we first have to know the formula to calculate the area of ​​a square

a = area = 115 km²

s = side

a = s * s

now we replace with the known values

115 km² = s * s

115 km² = s²

√(115 km²) = s

10.724km = s

Round to the nearest tenth

s = 10.724km = 10.7km

The wide of the city is 10.7km
