Question

Jessica has a square picture with an area of 900 square inches. 4. How long is each side of the picture? (in inches) 5. How many centimeters would that be? (1 inch = 2.54 cm) 6. If each side was 2 inches longer, what would the area of the picture be?

Answer 1

4. 30 inches

5. 76.2 cm

6. 1024 sqaure inches

Explanation:

4. √900 = 30 (area of a square = s²)

5. 30*2.54 = 76.2 cm

6. Each side is 2 inches longer ⇒ 30+2 = 32 inches (each side length)

area of a square = s²

32² = 1024 square inches
