Answer:
One side of the finished quilt = 6 feet
The border increase the total length of the quilt by 1 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Main design of the quilt = 5 feet long on each sides.
This means the quilt is square in shape because of the equal length dimensions
Area of the main design = length^2
Length = 5 feet
Area of the main design = 5^2
= 25 feet square
Area of the finished quilt = 36 square feet
Area of the finished quilt = length^2
36 = length^2
Find the square root of both sides
√36 = √ length^2
Length = 6 feet
One side of the finished quilt = 6 feet
2. By how much does the border increase the total length of each side of the quilt?
Length of finished quilt (with border) = 6 feet
Length of quilt (without border) = 5 feet
Difference in length = 6 feet - 5 feet
= 1 feet
The border increase the total length of the quilt by 1 feet
3. What is the width of the border?
The border doesn't have a width, it has an equal length of 6 feet on each side
