Final answer:
The length of each side of the square garden plot is 2∖(6) in simplest radical form, and approximately 4.9 feet to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the length of each side of the square garden plot with an area of 24 ft2, you need to find the square root of the area, because the area of a square is calculated as the side length squared (A = s2). Therefore, the length of each side in simplest radical form would be ∖(24) = ∖(4×6) = 2∖(6). To find this length to the nearest tenth of a foot, you take the decimal equivalent of ∖(6) which approximately equals 2.449 and multiply by 2, giving you approximately 4.9 ft.
The correct answer is B) 2∖(6) ; 4.9 ft.
