Question

The area of a square sandbox is 66 square feet. to the nearest foot, what is the perimeter of the sandbox>

Answer 1

A = a^2...where a is the length of each side
A = 66

66 = a^2
sqrt 66 = a
8.124 = a 

P = 4a
P = 4(8.124)
P = 32.496...rounds to 32 <===so the perimeter, when rounded to the nearest foot is 32 ft
