ty

hero (hero):

Oh wait. I was ignoring the sqrt symbols

hero (hero):

Hold on a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk :)

hero (hero):

Okay so after taking the square root, now we have dimensions 11.31 ft for width and 14.14 for length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

hero (hero):

Perhaps a room in a house.

hero (hero):

I don't know what object would be that big in a house

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what I was thinking.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now that we have that could you try and help me on more of what my question asks?

hero (hero):

You just need to find the perimeter P = 2l + 2w

hero (hero):

But you should use the radicals to get a more exact answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.
