A rotation on its axis of 180 degrees
Area of a square quilt = 289 square inches
Area of a smaller square quilt = 121 square inches
Area of a square = a²
Side length of big square quilt = √289 in² = 17 inches
side length of small square quilt = √121 in² = 11 inches
Perimeter of big square = 17 inches * 4 = 68 inches
perimeter of small square = 11 inches * 4 = 44 inches
difference = 68 inches - 44 inches = 24 inches.
0.714 and so does 0.224 has 4 in the thousandths place, but in shortest distance I believe it is 0.714
