Question

the following year, you decide to have a bigger vegetable garden which measures 520 square yards. approximate each side of the garden to the nearest tenth. draw a picture and label it. your answer thinking about the previous problem, how much is each side of the square? explain your solution.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for square

The area formula for a square is $A = s^{2}$, where $A$ is the area and $s$ is the side - length. Given $A = 520$ square yards.

Step2: Solve for side - length

We have $s=\sqrt{A}$. Substituting $A = 520$, we get $s=\sqrt{520}$.

Step3: Approximate the value

Using a calculator, $\sqrt{520}\approx22.8$ yards.

Answer:

Each side of the square - shaped garden is approximately 22.8 yards.

(Note: For the "Draw a picture and label it" part, you would draw a square, label each side as $s$ and write $A = 520$ square yards near the square.)
