Question

Garth is building a square shaped frame for a mirror. The area of the mirror is 144 square inches. How long is each side of the frame, in inches?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a square shaped mirror which means that it takes the shape of a square.

All sides on a square are equal and because the way the find the area of a square is to multiple the Length by the Width, you would be squaring the same number to find the area.

Length of each side = √area

= √144

= 12 inches
