The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft2. Which measurement is closest to the side length of this yard in feet?

a = 14.19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft²

We need to find the side length of this yard in feet.

The area of a square shaped object is given by :

A = a², a is the side length of the object

Put A = 201.5 ft² in above formula,

So, the side of the square yard is 14.19 feet.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
