Question

The park shown is in the shape of a square. Is the perimeter rational or irrational? Area = 24,200 yd 2

Answer 1

Answer:

irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

A = s^2

s^2 = 24,200

$s = \sqrt{24200}$

$s = \sqrt{242 \times 100}$

$s = \sqrt{100 \times 121 \times 2}$

$s = 10 \times 11\sqrt{2}$

$s = 110\sqrt{2}$

P = 4s

$P = 4 \times 100 \sqrt{2}$

$P = 440 \sqrt{2}$

The perimeter is irrational.
