5) Find the perimeter of a square whose area measures 10.24 square centimeters.
Solution: we know that the square root of the area is equal to one side

√ 10.24 cm=3.2cm

The diagonal of a rectangle measures 10 m and the base 8 m.

a. Calculate the height of the rectangle.

To find the height of the rectangle we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.

b. Calculate its area, expressing the result in square meters and in square decimeters

Area of the rectangle=8m x 6m=48m2

Since 1 m² = 100 dm², using a simple rule of three, we have:

Painting a wall that is 8 m long and 75 dm wide has cost 60 euros. What price will it be?
Is the square meter of paint paid?

The first thing to do is convert everything to meters, as 1m=10dm, therefore it results in 7.5m.
This shape measures 8m in length and 7.5m in width. Therefore, the area is length times width:
A = b. And substituting with data we have A = 7.5m x 8m = 60 m2

As it says that 60 new euros remain paid for everything =1 euro per m2

It is necessary to enclose a rectangular garden, 180 m long and 150 m wide, with fabric.
metallic. The linear meter of fencing costs 15 euros. At the same time, it must be paid with
Nitrogen fertilizer. The manufacturer of the fertilizer recommends 25 kg per hectare.

a) Calculate the length of the wire mesh and the cost of it to fence the garden.
finding the perimeter of the garden
2 (180 + 150) = 2( 330) = 660 m

finding the area of the garden

180 x 150 = 27000 m²

the length of the metal mesh is 660 m

cost = 660 x 15 = 9900 euros

b) Calculate the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed to fertilize it.

necessary fertilizer
660 / 2 = 330 for every 2 meters
330 x 25 = 8250
8250 kg of fertilizer is necessary
