Solved Examples on Square of 940

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

A square field has an area of 883,600 square meters. What is the length of one side of the field?

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

The area of a square = a²

 

So, the area of a square = 883,600 m²

 

So, the length = √883,600 = 940.

 

The length of each side = 940 m

Explanation

The length of the square field is 940 meters.

 

Because the area is 883,600 m², the length is √883,600 = 940.

Problem 2

A company needs to lay carpet on a square office floor with a side length of 940 feet. If the cost of carpeting is $2 per square foot, how much will it cost to carpet the entire floor?

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

The length of the office floor = 940 feet

 

The cost to carpet 1 square foot = $2.

 

To find the total cost to carpet, we find the area of the floor,

 

Area of the floor = area of the square = a²

 

Here a = 940

 

Therefore, the area of the floor = 940² = 940 × 940 = 883,600.

 

The cost to carpet the floor = 883,600 × 2 = 1,767,200.

 

The total cost = $1,767,200

Explanation

To find the cost to carpet the floor, we multiply the area of the floor by the cost to carpet per square foot. So, the total cost is $1,767,200.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 940 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 2,778,502.24 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 940

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 940² = 3.14 × 940 × 940 ≈ 2,778,502.24 m².

Problem 4

The area of a square is 883,600 square kilometers. Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 3,760 km

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 883,600 km²

 

The length of the side is √883,600 = 940

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 940

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 940 = 3,760 km.

Problem 5

Find the square of 941.

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

The square of 941 is 885,481

Explanation

The square of 941 is multiplying 941 by 941.

 

So, the square = 941 × 941 = 885,481
