Help please asap give an explanation too.

A tarp is used to keep the infield of a baseball field from getting wet. The infield is a square. The corners of the square tarp are anchored at each base. The tarp is 8,100 square feet.
A. What is the distance between the first and second base?
B. Is 8,100 a perfect square? Explain.

Respuesta :

I’ll do my best, but...

A. Since the area is 8100 sq ft and the shape is a square (area of a square = length x width) you take the square root of 8100 and get 90 ft as one of the sides. (90 ft x 90 ft = 8100 sq ft)

B. Yes, 8100 is a perfect square. A perfect square is a number made by squaring a whole number. It’s also the product of 2 equal integers. In this case, it’s 90.

Hope this helped, math isn’t my strong suit!
