Question

The Fernandez family has a square driveway with an area of 210.25 m2. Find the perimeter of the driveway. Round your answer to the nearest foot. There are approximately 3.3 ft in 1 meter. What’s the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

191 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of a square is the square of the length of its side

so if the side is l, the area will be l^2

we need the length before we get the perimeter

Thus;

l^2 = 210.25

l = √210.25

l = 14.5 m

We now need to get the perimeter of the drive way

The perimeter of the driveway will be 4 * l

= 4 * 14.5 = 58 m

we now convert this to ft

From the question;

3.3 ft = 1 m

x ft = 58 m

x = 58 * 3.3

x = 191.4 ft

To the nearest foot, this is 191 ft
