a four wall home it is 336 sqaure ft. how long is each wall?

Question

I don't understand how you figure square feet I guess. I thought that you would just divide the 336 by 4 guess Im wrong set me straight please

thanks for the first answer..didn't understand the second one(sorry) How do you figure the square root of 336? (yes I flunk all math classes but I am trying to understand)

yes it is a square shaped home

Answer 1

There is insufficient information given here in your question.
It's most likely that opposite walls are the same in length.
Let x be the length and y be the width, then:
x * y = 336² ft.
So you have two unknowns with insufficient information.

It the house is a square structure then the length is equal to the width:
x * x = 336² ft.
x² = 336² ft.
√(x²) = √(336²) ft.
x = 18∙330 302 78....
x ≈ 18∙33 ft.

Answer 2

If you don't know the shape of the home you cannot conclude. If it is square, then the side of the square, is the square root of the area that is sqrt { 336} = 2 sqrt { 84} = 4 sqrt { 21}. That's the length of each wall.

Answer 3

If it is square, each wall is √336=4√21=18.33 or 18' 4"

Answer 4

About 18.33 ft long. You find the square root of 336 and that is your answer.

Answer 5

length of each wall=rt336 ft
336=2*2*2*2*21
rt 336=2*2*rt21
=4rt21
=4*4.5826
=18.33

Answer 6

what measurement (in feet) times what measurement (in feet) equals 336?

Answer 7

18.33

Area of a square = side squared

Answer 8

x=for each wall
x*x=336
x^2=336

You square both sides:
√x^2=√336
x=18.3303
x=18.33 ft.
