Respuesta :

Work: Take the square root of 169 (which is 13)<—That equals the length of one side of the fence. The perimeter is 4 times 13 which is 52 yards. Correct Answer: 52 yards

Answer:

The fence is 13 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square = [tex]Side^2[/tex]

Let x be the side of square playground

Area of square playground = [tex]x^2[/tex]

A square playground has an area of 169 square yards.

So, [tex]x^2=169[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{169}[/tex]

[tex]x=13[/tex]

There is a fence along one side of the playground.

So, Length of fence along one side = Length of side = 13 yards

Hence The fence is 13 yards long.
