Question

Julie is digging a square area in her backyard a for a vegtable garden. If the area is 52 square feet, what is the approximate length of one of her garden?

(a) 6 feet
(b) 7 feet
(c) 8 feet
(d) 9 feet

Answer 1

The correct option will be: (b) 7 feet.

Explanation:

Suppose, the length of the garden is
`x` feet.

As the shape of the garden is like a square, then the area of the garden will be:
`(length)^2 = x^2` feet²

Given that, the area is 52 square feet. So, the equation will be.......

`x^2= 52\\ \\ x=√(52) = 7.211.... \approx 7`

So, the approximate length of the garden will be 7 feet.
