Question

The area of a square field is \[80\frac{244}{729}\] square metres. Find the length of each side of the field.

Answer 1

The length of one side is the square root of the area of the field. Hence, we need to calculate the value of `sqrt(80 244/729)` 

We have 

`sqrt(80 244/729)=sqrt(5856/729)=sqrt(58564/729)` 

Now, to calculate the square root of the numerator and the denominator: 

We know that:

`sqrt729=27`

\[\text{ Therefore, length of one side of the field } = \frac{242}{27} = 8\frac{26}{27} \text{ m }\]
