Answer:
a) 14.14 feet
b) 260.5 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A square has an area of 200 square feet.
a) How long is each side in simplest radical form?
Area of a square = (side length)²
Side length = √Area
Side length = √200 square feet
= 14.142135624 feet
≈ 14.14 feet
b) If I increase the length of each side by 2, what is the new area in simplest radical form?
= 14.14 feet + 2
= 16.14 feet
New area = (16.14 feet)²
= 260.4996 square feet
Approximately = 260.5 square feet
