Question

determine the area of a circular enclosure and a square enclosure made with the given amount of fence. compare the areas and comment. 56 meters of fence. the area of a square enclosure created with 56 meters of fence is about . (do not round until the final answer. then round to the nearest whole number meters. square meters. cubic meters.)

Explanation:

Step1: Find side - length of square

The perimeter of a square is $P = 4s$, where $s$ is the side - length. Given $P=56$ meters, then $s=\frac{P}{4}=\frac{56}{4}=14$ meters.

Step2: Calculate area of square

The area of a square is $A = s^{2}$. Substituting $s = 14$ meters, we get $A=14^{2}=196$ square meters.

Answer:

196 square meters
