The length of the photo frame is 11 inches. The length of the photo frame is between the 11 inches and 12 inches. The length of the photo frame is 12 inches.

Answer 1

Answer:'The length of the photo frame is between the 11 inches and 12 inches' is the correct option.

Explanation:

Since, According to the question, the shape of frame is square shape.

And, Its area = 123 square inches

Thus the length and breadth of the frame will be equal.

Which is
`√(123) = 11.0905365064` ≈ 11.09

Since, 12< 11.09< 12

Therefore, we can say that the length( or breadth) of the frame is in between the 11 and 12 inches.

Answer 2

It would be between 11 and 12 because 11 times 11 = 121 and that is smaller than 123. Also 12 times 12 is 144 and 12 a whole number.
