The width is between 2 feet and 4 feet
Taking the average, 1/2 (2 + 4) = 4 feet

The length is between 3 feet and 6 feet
Taking the average, 1/2 (3 + 6) = 4.5 feet

Area of one panel = 4 x 4.5 = 18 ft²
Area of 5 panels = 18 x 5
Area of 5 panels = 90 ft²

The estimated area of the 5 panels is 90 ft².

John's estimate is not reasonable as 140ft² is way too high from the average of 90 ft².

<em>Even taking the biggest possible length and width</em>
<em>The area of 1 panel = 4 x 6 = 24 ft²</em>
<em>The area of 5 panels = 24 x 5 = 120 ft²</em>
<em>Even taking the highest possible estimate of 120 ft², John's estimate is still way too high</em>

Area of a circle = pi x r^2

200.96 = pi x r^2

200.96 = 3.14 x r^2

r^2 = 64

r = 8 inches

Hope this helps!! :)

Dharmesh has a square garden with a perimeter of 132 feet. Is the area of the garden greater than 1,000 square feet?
Delvig [45]

Answer: Yes. The area is 1089 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a square, all the sides are equal: L = W

Hence, the perimeter of a square = 4 × L

Perimeter = 4L

132 = 4L

132 ÷ 4 = L

33 = L = W

Area of a square with 33 feet sides = L × L = 33 × 33 = 1089

1089 > 1000
