Question

A square garden has 41 ft of fencing, what is the area of the garden?Extension: If a square garden has an area of 361 square feet, how many feet of fencing would the garden need?

Answer 1

105.063 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If a square garden has 41ft of fencing, this means that the perimeter of the fence is 41ft

Perimeter of a square = 4L

L is the length of a side of the fence

41 = 4L

L = 41/4

L = 10.25ft

Area of the garden = L^2

Area of the garden = 10.25^2

Area of the garden = 105.063ft^2

Hence the area of the garden is 105.063 ft^2
