Question

Jaime want so make a square patio in his yard. He has enough concrete to pave an area of 193 square feet. If A represents the area of the patio, and s represents the side length of the patio, use the formula s=√A to find the length of each side of his patio. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

Jaime wants to make a square patio in his yard.

Now, a square has all four sides equal.

We need to use the next equation given:

$s=\sqrt{A}$

Where s represents the side length and A represens the area of his patio.

Replace using A=193 ft², therefore:

$\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt{193ft^2} \\ s=13.9ft \end{gathered}$

Hence, the length of each side of his patio is 13.9 ft ( the value is rounded to the nearest tenth)
