A square garden has an area of 205 square feet. What is the approximate perimeter of the garden to find out how much fencing you would need to go around it?
Let's assume the side length of the square garden is represented by 's'. Since the area of a square is given by the formula A = s^2, we can solve for 's'.
205 = s^2
Taking the square root of both sides, we find: s ≈ √205 ≈ 14.318
The perimeter of a square is given by the formula P = 4s, where 'P' represents the perimeter and 's' represents the side length.
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the garden is P ≈ 4s ≈ 4(14.318) ≈ 57.273 ft.
Hence, you would need approximately 57.273 feet of fencing to go around the square garden.
