Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 2401 cm².

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

The area of a square = a²

So, the area of a square = 2401 cm²

So, the length = √2401 = 49.

The length of each side = 49 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 49 cm. Because the area is 2401 cm² the length is √2401 = 49.

Problem 2

Sarah has a square garden with a side length of 49 meters. She wants to build a fence around it. How many meters of fencing does she need?

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

The length of the garden = 49 meters

The perimeter of the square = 4a

Here a = 49

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 49 = 196 meters.

Sarah needs 196 meters of fencing.

Explanation

To find the length of the fencing needed, we calculate the perimeter of the square garden. So, the total fencing required is 196 meters.

Problem 3

Find the area of a triangle where the base is 49 meters and the height is 40 meters.

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

The area of the triangle = 980 m²

Explanation

The area of a triangle = 0.5 × base × height

Here, base = 49 and height = 40

Therefore, the area of the triangle = 0.5 × 49 × 40 = 980 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 2401 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 196 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 2401 cm²

The length of the side is √2401 = 49

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 49

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 49 = 196 cm.
