Help Please! A square painting has a diagonal of 44 in. Lorraine wants to frame the picture. How many inches of frame will she need? Round to the nearest inch.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

use the pythagoras theorem since all the sides of a square are equal x^2 + x^2 = 44^2 where x is the length of one side of the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm...90

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the total length of frame need will be 4 times x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

2 x^2 = 44^2 x^2 = 44^2/2 = 1936/2 so take square root of both sides to find the measure of x

OpenStudy (welshfella):

just grab ur calculator and you'll get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it 11 for 44 and 44 for the 1936

OpenStudy (welshfella):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait it is 6.6 for 44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The square root for 44 is 6.6 and the square root for 1936 is 44

OpenStudy (welshfella):

divide 1936 by 2 first then enter sqrt of the answer on your calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

31.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe.... I am really bad at math

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right
