Question

Cam is playing four square on the playground with her friends. The area of the four square is 169 square feet. What is the side length of each player's square?

Answer 1

The root 169 is 13, meaning that the length and width are both 13. Since there are 2 squares on each side, 13/2= 6.5 meaning the side length is 6.5 feet

Answer 2

6.5 feet

Explanation:

If total area is 169 square feet then we need to find 1/4 of that for each individual square. Each square is 42.25 feet square which would give a side length of 6.5 on each square.

6.5×6.5=42.25 area of each square

42.25×4=169 total area of all four squares
