Question

A barbed wire of length 212m is used to fence a square garden. Find the area of the square garden.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2809 square meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose the square garden has every side length a m.

According to the question:

A barbed wire of length 212m is used to fence a square garden.

So, 4a = 212

=> a = 212/4 = 53

So, the garden has 53 m length and 53 m breadth.

Hence, the area of the square garden is:

$53^2 m^2\\= 2809 square meter$

Answer 2

Given data,

The length of the wire which is used to fence a square garden is $212m$

This means it is given that the perimeter.

The perimeter of  square

$4a=212$

$a=\frac{212}{4}$

$a=53m$

This will be the side of a square.

The area of a square is given as

$a^{2}$

Substitute $a=53m$ in the formula.

$53^{2}$

$2809m^{2}$

Therefore, the area of a square garden is $2809m^{2}$
