Question

5. Tristan wants to build a square garden in

his backyard. If the garden is going to be 64
ft2, how many feet of material will he need for
the perimeter of the garden?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the garden is 32 feet

Explanation:

The shape of the garden is a square

A square is a quadrilateral with equal sides.

Perimeter of a square = 4 x length

In order to determine the perimeter, the length of the side of the garden has to be determined.

Area of a square = length²

64 = length²

length = √64

length = 8 feet

Perimeter = 4 x 8 = 32 feet
