The area of a square plot is

Question: The area of a square plot is $101 \frac{1}{400} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. Find the length of one side of the plot. Solution: Let length of the square plot be a. Then, the area of square $=a^{2}$ According to the question, Area $=101 \frac{1}{400} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$[given] $\therefore$ $a^{2}=101 \frac{1}{400} \Rightarrow a^{2}=\frac{40401}{400}$ $\Rightarrow$ $a=\sqrt{\frac{40401}{400}} \Rightarrow a=\sqrt{\frac{201 \times 201}{20 \times 20}}$ $\therefore$ $a=\frac{201}{20}=10 \frac{1}{20} m$ [t...
