A square fishpond has an area of 68 square feet. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of one side of the fishpond? A. 8.2 ft B. 9.4 ft C. 17.0 ft D. 34.0 ft

OpenStudy (errinss):

@Hauntedwoodsgal can you help

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

Yes

OpenStudy (errinss):

awesome....

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

What do you think to answer is??

OpenStudy (errinss):

A

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

Sorry trying to solve this

OpenStudy (errinss):

no its fine lol

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

Ok whats the square root of 68 to the nearest tenth?

OpenStudy (errinss):

8.2?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

hint* 16.99 is rounded to___

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

No you divide 68/4

OpenStudy (errinss):

17

OpenStudy (errinss):

wait how did you get 16.99

OpenStudy (leenathan):

yes so its C 17.0

OpenStudy (leenathan):

idk i was giving u a random hint

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

divide 68/4

OpenStudy (errinss):

but the sqrt of 64 is 8...so 68 would be a lil over 8

OpenStudy (leenathan):

A SQUARE HAS 4 SIDES

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

Ok so what are you going to divide

OpenStudy (leenathan):

so 68/4

OpenStudy (leenathan):

=17

OpenStudy (errinss):

oh lol i was so confused, still am but it makes more sense

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

Yes

OpenStudy (leenathan):

bruh

OpenStudy (hauntedwoodsgal):

so C

OpenStudy (leenathan):

ok so its asking what the length of one side and the shape is a square ,the total area is 68 so 68/4 sides=

OpenStudy (leenathan):

17

OpenStudy (leenathan):

got it?

OpenStudy (errinss):

yup!!

OpenStudy (leenathan):

what grade r u in?

OpenStudy (errinss):

8th

OpenStudy (errinss):

Y?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

oh im going to 8th next year

OpenStudy (errinss):

heh...*blushes*...wow a 77th grader helping me holy crap your smart

OpenStudy (errinss):

7th*

OpenStudy (leenathan):

lol im not that smart i cant do calc yet

OpenStudy (errinss):

i can.... a lil bit tho

OpenStudy (leenathan):

nice

OpenStudy (errinss):

another question? A square piece of fabric has an area of 595 cm2. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of 1 side of the fabric? A. 21.3 cm B. 23.2 cm C. 24.4 cm D. 25.6 cm

OpenStudy (leenathan):

595cm2/4

OpenStudy (errinss):

148

OpenStudy (errinss):

148.75*

OpenStudy (leenathan):

yeh but there's another step lemme think

OpenStudy (errinss):

shouldnt i sqrt 595?

OpenStudy (errinss):

@Cheez can you help us?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

take the square root of 595... that will give the side length remember the area of a square is A=l2 so A√=

OpenStudy (leenathan):

A=l2 so A√=l

OpenStudy (errinss):

huh?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

wait

OpenStudy (errinss):

its only asking for 1 side, so i would sqrt it?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

i think so

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@errinss its NOT C

OpenStudy (errinss):

r u sure?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

i think it is C

rishavraj (rishavraj):

for the question A square fishpond has an area of 68 square feet. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of one side of the fishpond?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

17

OpenStudy (errinss):

uhm no we're on a different question

OpenStudy (errinss):

the first one would be A:8.2 right?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

for the A square fishpond has an area of 68 square feet. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of one side of the fishpond? see let the side length be a so a^2 = 68 a = 8.2

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@errinss yeah it would be A

OpenStudy (errinss):

told u @leenathan lol XP

OpenStudy (errinss):

i cant blame you tho.....

OpenStudy (leenathan):

wat?

OpenStudy (errinss):

llol the 1st one was A not C

rishavraj (rishavraj):

:) the thing is that its the area given not the perimeter :)

OpenStudy (errinss):

ya, so the second question..... A square piece of fabric has an area of 595 cm2. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of 1 side of the fabric? A. 21.3 cm B. 23.2 cm C. 24.4 cm D. 25.6 cm

OpenStudy (errinss):

it would be C, correct?

OpenStudy (leenathan):

wait ur wrong

OpenStudy (errinss):

oye

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@err its C :)) good work

OpenStudy (leenathan):

its asking for the answer to the nearest 10th not 68

rishavraj (rishavraj):

* @errinss the answer is 24.4 :)

OpenStudy (errinss):

nvrm @leenathan you were right for the first one it is C.... and the second one is as well C

OpenStudy (leenathan):

the area is 68 which consists the whole shape

OpenStudy (leenathan):

see

OpenStudy (leenathan):

im a Human Calculator what do you think?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@errinss for 1st question answer is A -_-

OpenStudy (leenathan):

dis boy

OpenStudy (leenathan):

its C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (errinss):

i asked jiggleypuff she is a mathlete she is right.... that and i asked google

OpenStudy (leenathan):

see @rishavraj

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@errinss for A square fishpond has an area of 68 square feet. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of one side of the fishpond? A. 8.2 ft B. 9.4 ft C. 17.0 ft D. 34.0 ft its A

OpenStudy (leenathan):

just stop

rishavraj (rishavraj):

really u guys cant be serious -_-

OpenStudy (errinss):

we're past the question if i get it wrong its not that big of a deal

OpenStudy (leenathan):

lol

OpenStudy (leenathan):

im going to bio now bye

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@errinss not for u ,...bt it is for me -_- and really the answer is A 8,2 ......

OpenStudy (errinss):

uhm.... crap! @rishavraj isis right it is only asking for 1 side of the fishpond......

OpenStudy (errinss):

is**

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@errinss I do know tht -_- u see the area is 68 ..... its not the freaking perimeter -_- so its like a^2 = 68 now solve for a -_-

OpenStudy (leenathan):

good bye

OpenStudy (errinss):

no dont go your actually helping me.... its just that one question

OpenStudy (errinss):

A square tabletop has an area of 1640 in2. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of 1 side of the tabletop?

OpenStudy (errinss):

help?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OK, so let's forget everything that has been said before. It's a mess... We are still working on the original question, correct?
