Seppe's scribepost

Question 18, 2.4 on page 79

18. A frame measures 30 cm by 20 cm. Can you mount a square picture with an area of 500 squared cm in the frame? Explain.

Frame
= 30 x 20

Picture
= 500

So to find the sides of the picture, you have to find the square root of 500 which is 22.36.
One side of the picture is too big for the frame so the answer is no, it can't fit in the frame.

PLEASE COMMENT (IF YOU WANT) TO MAKE MY POST A BETTER ONE :D

  1. Good job Seppe! That actually wasn't the way I answered it. But when I think about it, you are right and I was wrong. So yeah good job! Maybe a picture/diagram would've helped though.
