Question

Miranda bought a square frame that has an area of 30 square inches.What is the approximate side length of the frame.

Answer 1

Approximately 5.48 inches.

Explanation:

Area of a square formula: Area = length^2

Area here = 30 in^2

30 = length^2

Take square root of both sides to get rid of the square.

`√(30\\)` = length

length = 5.47722558

The approximate side length of the frame is about 4.58 inches.

Answer 2

s = 5.48 in

Explanation:

Area of square = s²

30 in² = s²

s = √30

s = 5.48 in
