Question

9. Jacobi is painting a square table top with anarea of 52 square feet. Which point below bestrepresents the side length of one side of thetable top?A. Point AB. Point BC. Point CD. Point D

Answer 1

The point that best represents the side length of one side of the table top is

B. Point B

How to find the length

To find the side length of a square table top with an area of 52 square feet, you can take the square root of the area because the area of a square is given by the formula

Area = s²

A is 52 square feet:

52 = s²

s = √52

s = 7.2

B. Point B: The square root of 52 is the same as the point a little more than 7

Answer 2

We are given that the area of a square is 52 square feet. To determine the side length we need to have into account the formula for the area of a square, that is:

`A=l^2`

Where "l" is the side length and "A" is the area. Solving for "l" by taking square root on both sides:

`\sqrt[]{A}=l`

Replacing the value of "A":

`\sqrt[]{52ft^2}=l`

Solving the operations:

`7.2ft=l`

Therefore, the point that best represents the side length is the second point from left to right, that is, point B.
