Solved Examples on Square of 543

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

A square garden has an area of 294,849 square meters. Find the length of one side of the garden.

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

The area of a square = a²

So, the area of a square = 294,849 m²

So, the length = √294,849 = 543.

The length of each side = 543 meters

Explanation

The length of a square garden is 543 meters.

Because the area is 294,849 m², the length is √294,849 = 543.

Problem 2

A rectangular billboard has a square base of length 543 feet. If the cost to paint one square foot is 5 dollars, how much will it cost to paint the entire base?

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

The length of the base = 543 feet

The cost to paint 1 square foot of the base = 5 dollars.

To find the total cost to paint, we find the area of the base, Area of the base = area of the square = a²

Here a = 543

Therefore, the area of the base = 543² = 543 × 543 = 294,849.

The cost to paint the base = 294,849 × 5 = 1,474,245.

The total cost = 1,474,245 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to paint the base, we multiply the area of the base by the cost to paint per square foot.

So, the total cost is 1,474,245 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 543 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 926,581.74 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 543

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 543² = 3.14 × 543 × 543 = 926,581.74 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 294,849 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 2,172 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 294,849 cm²

The length of the side is √294,849 = 543

Perimeter of the square = 4a Here, a = 543

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 543 = 2,172 cm.
