Question

"In the middle of a park, there is a fenced-off area in the shape of a square. If the area of the fenced-off section is 225 square yards, what is the perimeter of the fence?

A) 45 yards
B) 30 yards
C) 60 yards
D) 15 yards"

Answer 1

The perimeter of the fenced-off area can be found by taking the square root of the area of the square and then multiplying it by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the fenced-off area, we need to find the length of one side of the square, since all sides are equal in length. The area of the square is given as 225 square yards. We can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area: √225 = 15 yards. Since all sides of the square are equal, the perimeter is 4 times the length of one side, so the perimeter of the fence is 4 × 15 = 60 yards. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 60 yards.
