Jesses dream house is a square and has an area of 5476 square feet. She wants to build on a lot that is 100 feet across. Can she fit her house on this lot?

Question

its a square

Answer 1

the house is a square where length and width are the same, so L*L = 5476

 

take a square root of 5476

 

this will give 74 as the length

 

She can fit the house in the lot of 100 ft since 74 is within 100.
