Answer:
Using the formula to calculate the area of a square, the side of the patio can be 11.4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Square patio
Area: A=130 square feet= 130 ft^2
Side of the square: s=?
The formula to calculate the area of a square is:
A = s^2
Replacing A by 130 ft^2
130 ft^2 = s^2
Solving for s: Square root both sides of the equation above:
sqrt(130 ft^2) = sqrt(s^2)
11.40175425 ft = s
s = 11.40175425
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
s = 11.4 ft
