Question

mrs drew wants to build a square sandbox with an area of 121 square feet what is the total length of wood mrs drew needs to make the sides of a sandbox

Answer 1

44 feet

Explanation:

1) Area of square = Length x Breadth (BOTH Length and Breadth have to be the same value)

2) Since the area of the sandbox is 121 square feet, find the square root of 121 to find the values of the length/breadth.

√121 square foot = 11 feet

3) The total length of the sandbox (perimeter) is:

(2 x Length) + (2 x Breadth)

= (2 x 11 feet) + (2 x 11 feet)

= 44 feet.
