Answer:
No, the poster would not fit in the frame
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle is a quadrilateral (has 4 sides and 4 angles) with two pair of opposite and equal sides.
A square is a quadrilateral in which all sides are equal.
Given that the rectangular frame has a width of 40 inches and a length of 30 inches. The area of the rectangular frame is:
Area of rectangular frame = length * breadth = 40 inches * 30 inches = 1200 in²
Since the square frame has the same area as the rectangular frame, hence:
Area of square frame = length * length
length² = 1200
length = √1200 = 34.64
Therefore the dimensions of the square frame is 34.64 inches by 34.64 inches.
Hence a poster with dimensions of 36 inches X 36 inches cannot fit in the square frame.
