Problem 1

Find the length of the square, where the area of the square is 14641 cm².

Okay, lets begin

The area of a square = a²

So, the area of a square = 14641 cm²

So, the length = √14641 = 121.

The length of each side = 121 cm

Explanation

The length of a square is 121 cm. Because the area is 14641 cm² the length is √14641 = 121.

Problem 2

Sarah is planning to tile her square floor of length 121 feet. The cost to tile a foot is 5 dollars. How much will it cost to tile the full floor?

Okay, lets begin

The length of the floor = 121 feet

The cost to tile 1 square foot of floor = 5 dollars.

To find the total cost to tile, we find the area of the floor,

Area of the floor = area of the square = a²

Here a = 121

Therefore, the area of the floor = 121² = 121 × 121 = 14641.

The cost to tile the floor = 14641 × 5 = 73205.

The total cost = 73205 dollars

Explanation

To find the cost to tile the floor, we multiply the area of the floor by the cost to tile per foot. So, the total cost is 73205 dollars.

Problem 3

Find the area of a circle whose radius is 121 meters.

Okay, lets begin

The area of the circle = 45931.5 m²

Explanation

The area of a circle = πr²

Here, r = 121

Therefore, the area of the circle = π × 121² = 3.14 × 121 × 121 = 45931.5 m².

Problem 4

The area of the square is 14641 cm². Find the perimeter of the square.

Okay, lets begin

The perimeter of the square is 484 cm.

Explanation

The area of the square = a²

Here, the area is 14641 cm²

The length of the side is √14641 = 121

Perimeter of the square = 4a

Here, a = 121

Therefore, the perimeter = 4 × 121 = 484.

Problem 5

Find the square of 122.

Okay, lets begin

The square of 122 is 14884.

Explanation

The square of 122 is multiplying 122 by 122.

So, the square = 122 × 122 = 14884.
