Question

The area of a square is 8 square meters. Which of these

closest to the length of one side of the square?
F 2 meters
G 2.8 meters
4 meters
H 3.5 meters

Answer 1

G.

Explanation:

Length = Square root of Square area

= √8 (-√8 is rejected as length is positive)

We know that √4 < √8 < √9 because 4 < 8 < 9.

=> 2 < √8 < 3.

The only answer that is in this range is G.
