Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 702,244 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 702,244 cm² So, the length = √702,244 = 838. The length of each side = 838 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 838 cm.

Because the area is 702,244 cm², the length is √702,244 = 838.

Problem 2

Alice is planning to tile her square garden of length 838 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 4 dollars. Then how much will it cost to tile the entire garden?

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

The length of the garden = 838 feet The cost to tile 1 square foot of garden = 4 dollars. To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the garden, Area of the garden = area of the square = a² Here a = 838 Therefore, the area of the garden = 838² = 838 × 838 = 702,244. The cost to tile the garden = 702,244 × 4 = 2,808,976. The total cost = 2,808,976 dollars

Explanation

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

So, the total cost is 2,808,976 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 838 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 2,206,248.77 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 838

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 838² = 3.14 × 838 × 838 = 2,206,248.77 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 702,244 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 3,352 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 702,244 cm²

The length of the side is √702,244 = 838

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 838

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 838 = 3,352 cm.
