In an origami class, the instructor tells the students to cut a square that has an area of 24 square inches. Kevin cuts a square with a side length of 4.80 inches. Which statement is true?
Accepted Solution
A:
the options of the question in the attached figure
we know that area of a square=b² b is the length side of a square Area=24 in² 24=b²-----------> b=√24 in-----> b=2√6 in-----> b=4.90 in
if Kevin cuts a square with a side length of 4.80 inches so 4.80 < 4.90
therefore the answer is The side length of the square Kevin cuts is slightly less than the length the instructor required
