Question

4,913 cubic feet. what is the length of the new room? 5. the area of a square garage is 121 square feet. will it fit a car that measures 13 feet long? explain.

Explanation:

Problem 5 Solution:

Step1: Find side length of square garage

The area of a square is given by \( A = s^2 \), where \( s \) is the side length. Given \( A = 121 \) square feet, we solve for \( s \):
\( s = \sqrt{121} \)
\( s = 11 \) feet.

Step2: Compare side length with car length

The car is 13 feet long, and the garage side length is 11 feet. Since \( 11 < 13 \), the garage’s length (side of square) is less than the car’s length.

Answer:

No, the square garage with an area of 121 square feet has a side length of 11 feet (since \( \sqrt{121} = 11 \)). A 13 - foot - long car is longer than the 11 - foot side of the garage, so the car will not fit.
