Question

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft2. Which measurement is closest to the side length of this yard in feet?

Answer 1

a = 14.19 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft²

We need to find the side length of this yard in feet.

The area of a square shaped object is given by :

A = a², a is the side length of the object

Put A = 201.5 ft² in above formula,

`201.5=a^2\\\\a=√(201.5 ) \\\\a=14.19\ \text{feet}`

So, the side of the square yard is 14.19 feet.
