Question

If the area of a square plot of land is 9 miles squared, what is the perimeter of this land?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{12 \: miles}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of a square plot = 9 miles

First, finding the length of the land

$\boxed{ \sf{Area \: of \: a \: square \: = \: {length}^{2} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{9 = {length}^{2} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ {length}^{2} = 9}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {(length)}^{2} }} = \sqrt{9} }$

$\mapsto{ \sf{length = 3 \: miles}}$

Now , finding the perimeter of the land :

$\boxed{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: a \: square = 4 \: * length}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{perimeter \: = \: 4 \: * \: 3}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{perimeter \: = 12 \: miles}}$

The perimeter of the land = 12 miles
