You'll need a calculator to find this exactly.

Answer 2

The approximate length of one side of the canvas is 10.63 inches

Explanation:

Given :The area of an artist's square canvas can hold 113 square inches of paint.

To Find :What is the approximate length of one side of the canvas?

Solution:

Canvas is in the shape of square

Area of square =
`Side^2`

Let the side of the canvas be x

Area of canvas =
`x^2`

Since we are given that The area of an artist's square canvas can hold 113 square inches

So,
`113=x^2`

`√(113)=x`

`10.630=x`

So, the approximate length of one side of the canvas is 10.63 inches

Hence Option B is correct.
