Answer:

114 yards

456 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area of square parking lot = 12,996 square yards

The lenght of one side of the parking lot :

Area of a square = a² ; a = side length

Hence ;

12996 = a²

√12996 = a

114 = a

Hence, length of one side = 114 yards

Yards of fence needed to enclose parking lot :

Perimeter of a square = 4a ; a = side length

Perimeter = 4(114)

Perimeter = 456 yards
