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
We have

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

We know that:


$\mathrm{Therefore},\mathrm{length}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{one}\mathrm{side}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{field}=\frac{242}{27}=8\frac{26}{27}m$
