Yael has a square shaped garage with 24 square meters of floor space. She plans to build an addition that will increase the floor space by 50%. What will be the length, to the nearest tenth, of one side of the new garage?

Sagot :

Answer: 6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

50% of 24 is half of 24, which is 12. So Yael is increasing the size of the garage by 12 square meters.

12 + 24 = 36

to find the side length of a square, you find the square root of the area. The square root of 36 is 6, so the answer is 6 meters.
