Question

Drew wants to build a square sandbox with an area of 196 square feet. What is the total length of wood Drew needs to make the sides of the​ sandbox?

Answer 1

the length might be 48 I have calculated it so it might be the answer

Explanation:

I divided 196 by 2

Answer 2

56 feet

Explanation:

So the area of a quadrilateral is, length * width

but since the, length = width, in a square then we can say that the area of a square is, length ^ 2, or, width^ 2

so we can say that

length ^ 2 = 196

the sqrt of 196 is 14 so

length = 14

Since there are four sides to a square, we need to multiply the length by 4 to find the total material needed

14 * 4

= 56
