Question

A square field has an area of 479ft^2 .what is the approximate length of a side of the field? Give your answer to the nearest foot. Explain your response

I need help on this question I’ve been stuck on it for 30 minutes now ;-;

Answer 1

Since it's a square, it means all its sides are in equal lengths.

Area = side x side

So you have to square root the area to get the side length.

$\sqrt{479} = 21.886$

After rounding off to the nearest foot, the answer is 22 feet.

Hope this helps. - M
