Question

A square patio has an area of 218 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest 0.05?

Answer 1

14.75

multiply length by width to get the area and since they are equal (b/c it's a square) you take the square root of 218

Answer 2

Answer:

The side of the patio is 14.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A square patio has an area of 218 square feet.

As it is a square that means all the sides must be equal.

And area of a square is given by = side x side

Here, lets say the side of the patio be x.

This means $x\times x=218$

=> $x^{2} =218$

=> $x=\sqrt{218}$

=> x = 14.75

So, the side of the patio is 14.75 feet.
