Problem 1

Find the area of a square plot with side length 947 meters.

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

The area of the square = side²

 

So, the area = 947² = 947 × 947 = 896,809 m².

Explanation

The area of a square plot is calculated by multiplying the side length by itself. Here, the side length is 947 meters, so the area is 896,809 m².

Problem 2

A company wants to install a square-shaped solar panel with sides of 947 centimeters. If the cost to install each square centimeter is $2, what will be the total cost?

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

The side length of the solar panel = 947 cm

 

The cost to install 1 square centimeter = $2

 

To find the total cost to install, we find the area of the panel, Area = side²

 

Here, side = 947

 

Therefore, the area = 947² = 947 × 947 = 896,809 cm².

 

The cost to install the panel = 896,809 × 2 = 1,793,618.

 

The total cost = $1,793,618

Explanation

To find the cost to install the solar panel, we multiply the area of the panel by the cost per square centimeter. So, the total cost is $1,793,618.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle with a radius of 947 meters.

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

The area of the circle = 2,817,530.22 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

 

Here, r = 947

 

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 947² = 3.14 × 947 × 947 = 2,817,530.22 m².

Problem 4

The area of a square is 896,809 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

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

The perimeter of the square is 3,788 cm

Explanation

The area of the square = side²

 

Here, the area is 896,809 cm²

 

The length of the side is √896,809 = 947

 

Perimeter of the square = 4 × side

 

Here, side = 947

 

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 947 = 3,788 cm.
