Answer:

5.48 inches.

Explanation:

Let x represent the side length of the frame.

We have been given that Miranda bought a square frame that has an area of 30 square inches. We are asked to find the side length of frame.

We know that area of a square is the square of its side. We can represent our given information in an equation as:
x^2=30 .

Take square root of both sides:

√(x^2)=√(30)

x=5.47722557

$x\approx 5.48$

Therefore, the side length of the frame is approximately 5.48 inches.
