Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 59,049 cm².

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

The area of a square = a² So, the area of a square = 59,049 cm² So, the length = √59,049 = 243. The length of each side = 243 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 243 cm.

Because the area is 59,049 cm², the length is √59,049 = 243.

Problem 2

A farmer wants to fence a square plot of land with a side length of 243 meters. The cost to fence one meter is 5 dollars. How much will it cost to fence the entire plot?

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

The length of the plot = 243 meters The cost to fence 1 meter of plot = 5 dollars. To find the total cost to fence, we find the perimeter of the plot, Perimeter of the plot = 4a Here a = 243 Therefore, the perimeter of the plot = 4 × 243 = 972. The cost to fence the plot = 972 × 5 = 4,860. The total cost = 4,860 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to fence the plot, we multiply the perimeter of the plot by the cost to fence per meter

So, the total cost is 4,860 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 243 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 185,041.5 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 243

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 243² = 3.14 × 243 × 243 = 185,041.5 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 59,049 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 972 cm

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 59,049 cm²

The length of the side is √59,049 = 243

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 243

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 243 = 972 cm.
