Problem 1

Find the length of a square, where the area of the square is 181476 cm².

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

The area of a square = a²

 

So, the area of a square = 181476 cm²

 

Thus, the length = √181476 = 426.

 

The length of each side = 426 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 426 cm because the area is 181476 cm², so the length is √181476 = 426.

Problem 2

Emily is planning to cover her square garden with grass. Each side of the garden is 426 feet long. The cost to cover a foot with grass is 2 dollars. How much will it cost to cover the entire garden?

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

The length of the garden = 426 feet

 

The cost to cover 1 square foot with grass = 2 dollars.

 

To find the total cost to cover the garden, we need the area of the garden,

 

Area of the garden = area of the square = a²

 

Here a = 426

 

Therefore, the area of the garden = 426² = 426 × 426 = 181476.

 

The cost to cover the garden = 181476 × 2 = 362952.

 

The total cost = 362952 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to cover the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by the cost to cover per foot. So, the total cost is 362952 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 426 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 570,963.56 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 426

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 426² = 3.14 × 426 × 426 = 570,963.56 m².

Problem 4

The area of a square is 181476 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 1704 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

 

Here, the area is 181476 cm²

 

The length of the side is √181476 = 426

 

Perimeter of the square = 4a

 

Here, a = 426

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 426 = 1704.
