Question

Sharon has a piece of cloth of area 170 sq.cm; can she make a square handkerchief of length 12 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to get the area of the square when the length is 12cm. We know a square has equal sides so we can simply do l * l to get the area.

12 * 12 = 144.

Let's compare this to 170.

170 > 144, so yes we will have enough to make a 12 by 12 handkerchief :)
