Question

A square field has an area of 10 square miles. What is the approximate length, to the nearest thousandth, of one side of this field?
2.5 miles

Answer 1

About 3.165 miles, I think. I'm doing it mentally, so you'll wanna check it, but the sqr root of 10 is ~3.165

Answer 2

Answer:

One side of the field = 3.162 miles.                  

Step-by-step explanation :

Given : A square field has an area of 10 square miles.

To find : One side of the field.

Solution : Formula of area of square = $\text{side}^2$

And we know the area A= 10 square miles.

$A=s^2$

$10=s^2$

$s=\sqrt{10}$

$s=3.16227$

Nearest thousandth → s= 3.162

Therefore, one side of the field = 3.162 miles.
