Problem 1

A rectangular plot has a width of 222 meters. If the area of the plot is 49284 square meters, what is its length?

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

The area of a rectangle = length × width So, the area = 49284 square meters Width = 222 meters Length = Area / Width = 49284 / 222 = 222 meters

Explanation

The length of the rectangle is 222 meters because the area is 49284 square meters and the width is 222 meters.

Problem 2

A square garden has a side length of 222 meters. If the cost to fence one meter is 5 dollars, how much will it cost to fence the entire garden?

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

The side length of the garden = 222 meters The cost to fence 1 meter = 5 dollars To find the total cost to fence, we find the perimeter of the garden, Perimeter of the garden = 4 × side length Here side length = 222 Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 222 = 888 meters The cost to fence the garden = 888 × 5 = 4440 dollars The total cost = 4440 dollars

Explanation

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

So, the total cost is 4440 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 222 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 154,227.56 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 222

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 222² = 3.14 × 222 × 222 = 154,227.56 m²

Problem 4

The area of a square is 49284 cm². Find the length of its diagonal.

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

The length of the diagonal is 314.16 cm

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 49284 cm²

The side length is √49284 = 222

Diagonal of the square = a√2

Here, a = 222

Therefore, the diagonal = 222√2 ≈ 314.16 cm
