Question

The area of an artist square canvas can hold 113 square square inches of paint. What is the approximate length of one side of the canvas (approximate to the nearest hundredth inch)

Answer 1

The approximate length of one side of the canvas (approximate to the nearest hundredth inch)= 10.63

Explanation:

There are two ways to solve this problem . One is the use of the calculator and the other is the use of the fraction.

Now the square has equal sides length = breadth .

So we can simply find the length on one side by taking square root with the help of the calculator .

So when you press the symbol of square root after entering the number 113 we get the answer 10.63

Square = Length * breadth

Square = Length * length

Square = L²

One side =√ L²= L so √113= 10.63

The approximate length of one side of the canvas (approximate to the nearest hundredth inch)= 10.63
