Answer 1

9x9=81
so there is 9 on 2 sides, which is 18 when it gets added together. DONT FORGET ABOUT THE OTHER 2 SIDES!! you have four sides of the square so 9x4=36. I believe the answer is actually 36

Answer 2

Option 3 - 9 feet.

Explanation:

Given : Ariel's garden is planted in the shape of a square and has an area of 81 square feet. If she plans to put a fence around the perimeter of the garden.

To find : How much fencing will she need?

Solution :

The area of the garden square is 81 square feet.

The formula of area of square is
`A=a^2`

`81=a^2`

`a=√(81)`

`a=9`

The side of the square is 9 feet.

The fence around the perimeter of the garden is

`P=4a\\P=4(9)\\P=36`

So, The fence around the perimeter of the garden is 36 feet.

Therefore, Option 3 is correct.
