Answer 2

any idea how you might try to solve this ?

Answer 3

I thought it was 27ft by 27ft but i am counfused with this so i wanted to ask you

Answer 4

you do

27ft/800

Answer 5

You have enough seed for 800 square feet
if the field (square) is bigger than 800 square feet you don't have enough seed

Answer 6

You have to look at the *area* of each square.
area is side * side

Answer 7

if you have a calculator you can find the area of the square for each choice.

So it is 27

Answer 10

27*27 = 729 and that is smaller than 800
But is it the *biggest* square we can do ?
what is 28*28 ?

Answer 11

784 = 28x28

Answer 12

It is 29ft by 29ft beacause when you times 29x29 it equals 841 am i right

Answer 13

and 784 is smaller than 800, so we have enough seed for 28*28

Answer 14

you have enough seed for 800 square feet
29*29 is 841
so you will run out of seed

Answer 15

the biggest choice can't be 29 (it is *too big* )

Answer 16

SO THE ANSWE IS 28 BY 28 :)

Answer 17

yes
