Answer 2

Answer:

The approximate length of one side of the canvas is 10.63 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The area of an artist's square canvas can hold 113 square inches of paint.

To Find :What is the approximate length of one side of the canvas?

Solution:

Canvas is in the shape of square

Area of square = $Side^2$

Let the side of the canvas be x

Area of canvas = $x^2$

Since we are given that The area of an artist's square canvas can hold 113 square inches

So,  $113=x^2$

$\sqrt{113}=x$

$10.630=x$

So, the approximate length of one side of the canvas is 10.63 inches

Hence Option B is correct.
