The area of the picture frame is 55 square inches. find the length of one side of the frame.
Part a- nearest whole inch
Part b- nearest tenth of an inch
To find the length of one side of the picture frame, we need to find the square root of the area.
a) Nearest whole inch:
The square root of 55 is approximately 7.42. Rounding this to the nearest whole inch gives us a length of 7 inches.
b) Nearest tenth of an inch:
The square root of 55 is approximately 7.4161984871. Rounding this to the nearest tenth of an inch gives us a length of 7.4 inches.
To find the length of one side of the frame, we need to take the square root of the area of the picture frame.
Given: Area = 55 square inches
Part a: To find the length of one side of the frame rounded to the nearest whole inch:
Step 1: Take the square root of the area.
√55 ≈ 7.42 (rounded to two decimal places)
Step 2: Round the result to the nearest whole inch.
7.42 ≈ 7 inches
Therefore, the length of one side of the frame, rounded to the nearest whole inch, is 7 inches.
Part b: To find the length of one side of the frame rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch:
Step 1: Take the square root of the area.
√55 ≈ 7.42 (rounded to two decimal places)
Step 2: Round the result to the nearest tenth of an inch.
7.42 ≈ 7.4 inches
Therefore, the length of one side of the frame, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, is 7.4 inches.
