If you have a square blanket and it's 130 square inches. How long is one side in furlongs?
1st step - how many inches in a furlong?
12
To find the length of one side of the square blanket in furlongs, we need to convert 130 square inches to square furlongs and then take the square root to find the length of one side.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start by converting square inches to square furlongs. Since there are 27,878,400 square inches in a square mile and 640 acres in a square mile, we can use these conversion factors to find the number of square furlongs in 130 square inches:
(130 square inches) * (1 square mile / 27,878,400 square inches) * (1 square furlong / 640 acres) = X square furlongs
Calculating this will give us the value of X in square furlongs.
2. Once we have the area in square furlongs, we can find the length of one side by taking the square root:
Length of one side = √(X square furlongs)
Calculate this square root, which will give us the length of one side of the square blanket in furlongs.
By following these steps, you can find the length of one side of the square blanket in furlongs based on its area of 130 square inches.
