A square picture frame encloses an area of 29 square inches. Its owner claims that the frame sides are between 5.25 and 5.35 inches long. Is the owner correct? Why or why not?

Side length = ______ inches

Respuesta :

Answer:

Side length = 5.3851 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

area for square is given by [tex]side^2[/tex]

here area is given

lets calculate side now

[tex]29 = side^2\\=>\sqrt{29} =side \\=>5.3851[/tex]

Thus, we see length of side is 5.3851 which is greater than 5.35 and does not fall between 5.25 and 5.35.

Hence , owner is not correct.
