Problem 1

Find the length of a square, where the area of the square is 7396 cm².

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 7396 cm² Therefore, the length = √7396 = 86. The length of each side = 86 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 86 cm because the area is 7396 cm², and the length is √7396 = 86.

Problem 2

Sarah is planning to paint her square garden wall of length 86 feet. The cost to paint a foot is 5 dollars. How much will it cost to paint the full wall?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The length of the wall = 86 feet The cost to paint 1 square foot of the wall = 5 dollars. To find the total cost to paint, we find the area of the wall, Area of the wall = area of the square = a² Here a = 86 Therefore, the area of the wall = 86² = 86 × 86 = 7396. The cost to paint the wall = 7396 × 5 = 36980. The total cost = 36980 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to paint the wall, we multiply the area of the wall by the cost to paint per foot. So, the total cost is 36980 dollars.
