Question

"The plans for a new home calls for a square patio with an area of 229 spuare meters. Which one of the following best represents the length of the side of his patio?"

14.2 meters
14.6
15.1
or 15.9?

Answer 1

15.1 meters for sure, trust me it's right

Answer 2

By definition, the sides of a square are equal length, say s.
Area of a square is s*s = s^2
If s^2 = 229
s = sqrt 229
~15.1 m

Answer 3

It would be 15.1 because you take the square root of 229 to determine this. Think about it, to find the area of a square you multiply length times width or just square one side and that gives you your answer. Hope that helps!

Answer 4

15.1 (since it's a square, both length and width are the same, so you want a number that you multiply by itself to get 229. On a calculator, you get the square root of 229, and find that it's 15.1).

Answer 5

definitly not 14.2
it's a square so set up an equation

X squared= 229

15.1 x 15.1 is approximately equal to 228.01 which =229

Answer 6

15.1 X 15.1 = 228.01 metres squared. 15.1 would be the closest. The help you need is not in knowing the answer, it's in knowing how to find the answer. The area of a square is lenghth times width with both dimentions being equal.

Answer 7

15.1 meters, just calculated 15.1 times 15.1 and got the closest to 229.

Answer 8

15.1 meters
take the sqare root of 229 and u get the sides cause
A=s^2
229=s^2
square root of(229)=s
15.1=s

Answer 9

15.1

Answer 10

15.1
