Question

1. the area of a square garage is 121 square feet. will it fit a car that measures 13 feet long? explain.

Explanation:

Step1: Find side - length of square

For a square with area $A = s^{2}$ (where $s$ is side - length), given $A = 121$ square feet. So, $s=\sqrt{A}=\sqrt{121}=11$ feet.

Step2: Compare side - length with car length

The side - length of the square garage is 11 feet and the car is 13 feet long. Since $11<13$.

Answer:

No, the car will not fit because the side - length of the square garage (11 feet) is less than the length of the car (13 feet).
