Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √(49/81)?

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

The area of the square is 49/81 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side².

The side length is given as √(49/81).

Area = (7/9) × (7/9) = 49/81.

Therefore, the area of the square box is 49/81 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped plot measures 49/81 square meters in area; if each side is √(49/81), what will be the area of half of the plot?

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

49/162 square meters

Explanation

The plot's area is 49/81 square meters.

To find half of this area, divide by 2. (49/81) ÷ 2 = 49/162.

So, half of the plot measures 49/162 square meters.

Problem 3

Calculate √(49/81) × 5.

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

35/9

Explanation

First, find the square root of 49/81, which is 7/9.

Then multiply by 5. (7/9) × 5 = 35/9.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (49/81 + 1)?

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

The square root is 4/3.

Explanation

Sum the fraction with 1: (49/81 + 81/81) = 130/81.

Now, find the square root: √(130/81) ≈ 4/3.

Therefore, the square root of (49/81 + 1) is approximately ±4/3.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of a rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √(49/81) units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.

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

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as 85.56 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

Perimeter = 2 × (7/9 + 38) = 2 × (0.778 + 38) = 2 × 38.778 = 77.556 units.
