Question

Here is the problem

Drew wants to build a square sandbox with an area of 64 square feet. What is the total length of wood Drew needs to make the sides of the​ sandbox.

Answer 1

Another way to word this problem: given the area of a square, find its perimeter.

A formula for the area of a square is A = s² (area equals side squared).

For perimeter: P = 4s (the perimeter of a square is four times the length of one of its sides).

For this problem A = 64 ft², so:

64 = s²

s = √64

s = 8.feet

If the side length is 8, then perimeter is four times that value:

P = 4(8) = 32 feet.
