Question

Residents who live in the city receive power from the city's power plant. If the city is a square, approximately how wide is the city if the area is 200 square miles?

Answer 1

width = 14.14 sq.miles

Explanation:

We are told that the city is square.. We are also told that the area of the city is 200 sq.miles.

Now,formula for area of square if a side is x is given as;

A = x²

Where x is both the length and width.

Thus;

x² = 200

x = √200

x = 14.14 sq.miles

Thus,length = 14.14 sq.miles and width = 14.14 sq.miles
