Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 34,225 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 34,225 cm² So, the length = √34,225 = 185. The length of each side = 185 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 185 cm.

 

Because the area is 34,225 cm² the length is √34,225 = 185.

Problem 2

Samantha wants to lay a square carpet with a length of 185 feet. The cost to carpet a foot is 4 dollars. Then how much will it cost to carpet the full area?

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

The length of the carpet = 185 feet The cost to carpet 1 square foot = 4 dollars. To find the total cost to carpet, we find the area of the carpet, Area of the carpet = area of the square = a² Here a = 185 Therefore, the area of the carpet = 185² = 185 × 185 = 34,225. The cost to carpet the area = 34,225 × 4 = 136,900. The total cost = 136,900 dollars

Explanation

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

 

So, the total cost is 136,900 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 185 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 107,532.25 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 185

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 185²

 

= 3.14 × 185 × 185

 

= 107,532.25 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 1850 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 1850 cm²

 

The length of the side is √1850 ≈ 43.02

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a ≈ 43.02

 

Therefore, the perimeter ≈ 4 × 43.02 ≈ 172.08.
