A. 13 Feet
B. 26 Feet
C. 39 Feet
D. 44 Feet

​

Answer 1

The perimeter of the fencing is 44 feet (Option D)

Explanation:

Area and Perimeter

A square shape of side length (a) has an area given by:

`A = a^2`

And its perimeter is calculated as:

P = 4a

The area of Katrina's square garden is given as A=121 square feet. We need to calculate the side length by solving for a:

`a=√(121)`

a = 11 feet

Once we know the value of a, then we calculate the perimeter:

P = 4*11 = 44

The perimeter of the fencing is 44 feet (Option D)
