Question

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.

________ in

Answer 1

it is forming a right angle triangle which means it on angle will be 90

Answer 2

It's a square so both sides will be the same.
\[a^2+a^2=44^2\]\[a^2+a^2=1936\]\[2a^2=1936\]\[a^2=968\]\[a=\sqrt{968}\]\[a=31.11\]\[4a=124.44\]
