The Smiths want to fence their square garden, which has an area of 256 square meters.

If one side of the garden borders the house and therefore doesn’t need a fence, how many meters of the fence is necessary?

Respuesta :

Answer:

48m of fence

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square = s²

256 = s²

√256 = s

s = 16

There are 4 sides in a square, however, one side is the house, so in total, you need to find 3 sides.

16 * 3 = 48
