Question

A pallet of sod will cover an area of about 600ft2. Trinh wants to order a pallet of sod to make a square lawn in his backyard. Use the formula s=A−−√ to find the length of each side of his lawn. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

`s=24.5\ ft`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a square is given by the formula

`A=s^2`

where

s is the length side of the square

solve for s

`s=√(A)`

we have

`A=600\ ft^2`

substitute

`s=√(600)=24.5\ ft`
