Question

A farmer has a square garden that has an area of 100 feet squared. He needs to

Answer 1

Answer:

40ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the garden (square) tells you that both the length and the width of the garden are the same measure.

If the area is 100sqft, you can determine that side * side = 100. To find this answer, you can take the square root of 100. side=10, because 10 * 10= 100 (the area).

Now, we know that each side measures 10 feet. Try drawing and labeling a picture to help you visualize the garden. Next, label each side of the square garden 10ft.  To find the feet of fencing is needed to enclose the garden,

We need to find the perimeter, so we can calculate

10ft * 4 sides = 40 feet of fencing.
