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 garage

The area formula for a square is $A = s^{2}$, where $A$ is the area and $s$ is the side - length. Given $A = 121$ square feet, we solve for $s$: $s=\sqrt{A}=\sqrt{121}=11$ feet.

Step2: Compare side - length with car length

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

Answer:

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