The area of a square is 28.00 square meters.
a. Find, to the nearest thousandth of a meter, the length of one side of a square.
b. Find, to the nearest thousandth of a meter, the perimeter of the square.
c. Explain why the answer to part b is not equal to 4 times the answer to part a.
Please help!!
a. Since the area is derived by multiplying two sides of a square, you can calculate the length of a side by determining the square root of 28, which is 5.292 (to the nearest thousandths).
b.the perimeter of the square can be determined by multiplying the length of the side of the square by 4, since all four sides of the square are equal. Do not use the 5.292 as it is not the exact length of the side, it has been rounded up.
c. You can answer this yourself by reading a and b above.
