Chapter 9.5, Problem 4P

To determine

To calculate: The side length of the garden.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The given area of the garden is $150{\text{in}}^2$ .

Length of the square is $x$ .

Calculation:

It is given that the area is $150{\text{in}}^2$ .

It is known that the area of a square is ${\text{length}}^2$ .

Thus, find $x$ .

  $\begin{array}{l}{x}^2=150\\ x=12.25\end{array}$

Hence, the required length is 12.25 ft.
