Question

In Japan. traditionally it was believed that if you folded 1,000 origami cranes, your wish would come true. For a party, Emika is making origami cranes by folding square pieces of paper. The area of each piece of paper she uses is 35 in.^2.

What is the exact perimeter of the paper Emika uses? ______

Answer 1

Explanation:

Remark

Interesting detail.

Origami Paper is square -- perfectly.

So the properties listed will be related to a square.

Givens

Area = 35 in^2

Formulas

Area = s^2 where s is the length of 1 side.

Perimeter = 4s

Solution

Area = s^2 = 35

s^2 = 35 Take the square root of both sides.

√s^2 = √35

s = 5.91

Perimeter = 4s

s = 5.91

Perimeter = 4*5.91

Perimeter = 23.66

The way the question is worded, the answer you should submit is

Perimeter = 4 * √35
