Question

You are going to make a picture frame that is going to be 5 1/2 inches long and 4 1/8 inches wide. You will measure the diagonal distance to determine if you are making square corners. What would the measurement of the diagonal need to be to ensure that the corners are square?

Answer 1

22 11/16 or 22.68

Explanation:

Turn the mixed numbers to fractions

`(11)/(2) *(33)/(8)`

Then multiply both Numerators

11 x 33=363

Also do the same to the Denominators

2 x 8=16

You get
`(363)/(16)`

Simplify and it becomes 22 11/16 or 22.68
