Question

A rancher needs to build a square pen for cattle with an areaabout 625 square yards. What are the dimensions?

Answer 1

The area of any square pen can be calculated as:

`\text{Area}=a^2`

Where a is the length of the squa

So, if we replace the Area by 625 and we solve for a, we get:

`\begin{gathered} 625=a^2 \\ √(625)=√(a^2) \\ 25=a \end{gathered}`

Therefore the dimensions of the square yard are 25
