Kamara has a square fence kennel area for her dogs in the backyard. The area of the kennel is 64 ft squared. What are the dimensions of the kennel? How many feet of fencing did she use? Explain.

Area of a square with side length (s) is:
A = s^2

Given A = 64, we have:
s^2 = 64

Typing this equation into our math engine, we get:
s = 8

Which means the dimensions of the kennel are 8 x 8.

How much fencing she used means perimeter. The perimeter P of a square with side length s is:
P = 4s

Given s = 8, we have:
P = 4 * 8
P = 32
