Question

14. Mrs. Drew wants to build a square sandbox
with an area of 121 square feet. What is the
total length of wood Mrs. Drew needs to make
the sides of the sandbox?

Answer 1

Answer:

44 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side of the square box

The area of the box is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

where

b is the length side of the square box

we have

$A=121\ ft^2$

substitute

$121=b^{2}$

solve for b

square root both sides

$b=11\ ft$

step 2

Find the perimeter of the square box

The perimeter of the square box is

$P=4b$

we have

$b=11\ ft$

substitute

$P=4(11)=44\ ft$

Answer 2

The total length of wood Mrs. Drew needs to make the sides of the sandbox is 44 feet.

What is the total length of the wood needed?

A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides.

We are to determine the perimeter of the sandbox. The first step is to determine the length of one side.

The length of one side = √121 = 11 FEET

Perimeter = 11  x 4 = 44 feet
