Ray planted a square garden that covers an area of 200ft squared. How many feet of fencing does he need to surround the garden? Round to the nearest tenth

Respuesta :

Ray needs 56.4 feet of fencing to surround the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of square garden = 200 ft²

As the garden is in square shaped.

Let a be the one side of square

Area = a²

[tex]a^2=200[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides

[tex]\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{200}\\a=14.1 \ft[/tex]

For the measure of fencing, we will find the perimeter.

Perimeter = 4a

Perimeter = [tex]4(14.1) = 56.4 ft[/tex]

Ray needs 56.4 feet of fencing to surround the garden.
