A square parking lot has an area of 12,996 square yards. a. What is the length of one side of the parking lot? b. How many yards of fence will it take to enclose the entire parking lot?

114 yards

456 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area of square parking lot = 12,996 square yards

The lenght of one side of the parking lot :

Area of a square = a² ; a = side length

Hence ;

12996 = a²

√12996 = a

114 = a

Hence, length of one side = 114 yards

Yards of fence needed to enclose parking lot :

Perimeter of a square = 4a ; a = side length

Perimeter = 4(114)

Perimeter = 456 yards

the first answer is 93000000 and the second answer is 240000
