Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 27,844,484 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 27,844,484 cm² So, the length = √27,844,484 = 5278. The length of each side = 5278 cm.

Explanation

The length of a square is 5278 cm.

Because the area is 27,844,484 cm², the length is √27,844,484 = 5278.

Problem 2

Sarah is planning to tile her square patio of length 5278 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the full patio?

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

The length of the patio = 5278 feet. The cost to tile 1 square foot of patio = 5 dollars. To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the patio, Area of the patio = area of the square = a² Here a = 5278 Therefore, the area of the patio = 5278² = 5278 × 5278 = 27,844,484. The cost to tile the patio = 27,844,484 × 5 = 139,222,420. The total cost = 139,222,420 dollars.

Explanation

To find the cost to tile the patio, we multiply the area of the patio by the cost to tile per foot.

So, the total cost is 139,222,420 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 5278 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 87,513,707.92 m².

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr².

Here, r = 5278.

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 5278² = 3.14 × 5278 × 5278 = 87,513,707.92 m².
