Question

A square flower garden in samantha's backyard has an area of 100 square feet. How much fencing will she need to enclose the flower garden? step by step on how you got answer

thanks!

Answer 1

We know that the area of a square is a side to the power of 2, so all we need to do is find the square root of 100 to get our answer. The square root of 100 is 10, so we can find how much fencing she will need by multiplying it to 4, because a square has 4 sides. 10 x 4 is 40, so this will be our answer. :)

Answer 2

Area = 100 ft²

Area = l × w

Since you know it is a square than the sides are all equal. So the length and width are the same measurement. What two numbers when multiplied together equals 100? In order to find the answer you could do the square root of 100 which would give you 10.

So you know that each side is 10 feet. Using that you multiply 10 by 4because there are 4 sides in a square to get 40. This means that she will need 40 feet of fencing to enclose the garden.

Answer: 40 feet
