The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the side of a square park given its area, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between area and side length The area \( A \) of a square is given by the formula: \[ A = L^2 \] where \( L \) is the length of one side of the square. ### Step 2: Set up the equation with the given area We are given that the area \( A \) is \( 100 \pm 0.2 \, m^2 \). This means: \[ A = 100 \, m^2 \quad \text{and} \quad \Delta A = 0.2 \, m^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the side length Using the area formula: \[ L^2 = 100 \] To find \( L \), we take the square root: \[ L = \sqrt{100} = 10 \, m \] ### Step 4: Calculate the error in the side length To find the uncertainty in the side length \( \Delta L \), we can use the relationship between the errors in area and side length. The formula relating the error in area to the error in length is: \[ \frac{\Delta A}{A} = 2 \frac{\Delta L}{L} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the known values into the error formula Substituting \( \Delta A = 0.2 \, m^2 \) and \( A = 100 \, m^2 \): \[ \frac{0.2}{100} = 2 \frac{\Delta L}{10} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( \Delta L \) Rearranging the equation, we get: \[ \frac{0.2}{100} = \frac{2 \Delta L}{10} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{0.2}{100} = \frac{\Delta L}{5} \] Multiplying both sides by 5: \[ \Delta L = \frac{0.2 \times 5}{100} = 0.01 \, m \] ### Step 7: Write the final result for the side length with uncertainty Thus, the side length of the park is: \[ L = 10 \pm 0.01 \, m \] ### Final Answer The side of the park is \( 10 \pm 0.01 \, m \). ---
