Question

The city of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, has an area of 24.0 km^2. If this city were a perfect square, what would it’s exact perimeter be? Express your answer as a mixed radical in simplest form. Pls help need this ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

8$\sqrt{6}$  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l represent the length of the square

The area of a square = l^2

That means,

l^2 = 24 km^2

Take the square root of both sides

l = $\sqrt{24}$

l = $\sqrt{4*6$

l = $\sqrt{4} *\sqrt{6}$

l = 2$\sqrt{6}$

Now lets find the perimeter

Perimeter of a square, P = 4l

P = 4* 2$\sqrt{6}$

P = 8$\sqrt{6}$ inches
