Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 34,596 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 34,596 cm² So, the length = √34,596 = 186. The length of each side = 186 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 186 cm.

 

Because the area is 34,596 cm², the length is √34,596 = 186.

Problem 2

Lisa wants to carpet her square room of length 186 feet. The cost to carpet a foot is 5 dollars. Then how much will it cost to carpet the entire room?

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

The length of the room = 186 feet The cost to carpet 1 square foot of room = 5 dollars. To find the total cost to carpet, we find the area of the room. Area of the room = area of the square = a² Here a = 186 Therefore, the area of the room = 186² = 186 × 186 = 34,596. The cost to carpet the room = 34,596 × 5 = 172,980. The total cost = 172,980 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to carpet the room, we multiply the area of the room by the cost to carpet per foot.

 

So, the total cost is 172,980 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 186 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 108,681.84 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 186

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 186²

 

= 3.14 × 186 × 186

 

= 108,681.84 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 34,596 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 744 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 34,596 cm²

 

The length of the side is √34,596 = 186

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 186

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 186 = 744.
