Question

jamals lawn is shaped like a square with an area of 224.9 ft2. which measurement is closest to the side length of his lawn in feet?

Answer 1

Given:

Area of the square shaped lawn = 224.9 ft²

A square has all four side lengths equal.

To find the side length of this lawn, use the formula for area of a square below:

`\text{Area = }L^2`

Take the square root of both sides to find the sile length L:

`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{Area\text{ }}=\sqrt[]{L^2} \\ \\ \sqrt[]{Area}\text{ = L} \\ \\ \sqrt[]{224.9}\text{ = L} \\ \\ 14.99\text{ ft = L} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the measurement that is closest to the side length in feet is 15 ft

ANSWER:

15 ft
