Question

Each of the walls in Harvey’s shed are square and have an area of 84 square feet. What is the approximate height, to the nearest foot, of the walls in Harvey’s shed?

Answer 1

9 ft

Explanation:

Here, we have a square wall with a value of 84 square feet for the area and we are told to find the approximate height of the walls

Mathematically, the area of a square is L^2

The height of the walls is just as one of its side

Thus;

L^2 = 84

L = √(84)

L = 9.165

which to the nearest foot is 9 ft
