Tenth Of A Foot

What is one tenth of a foot? 3

I have this math quiz for my homework and I have a problem with it. If you don't mind answering this question, and if you can work on it or type in it, I really appreciate it!

This one:

A contractor needs to cut a piece of glass to fit a square window. The window area is 12 feet (square). Find the length from the edge of the window to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Please help yourself! Thank you very much!

12 = 3.464101615 ...

To answer the question in your title: 1/10 of a foot = 1.2 "or slightly less than 1 1/4".

To answer your Mework question: area of square = x 2 where x = length of one side.

X 2 = 12. You need to find the square root of 12 after the first decimal. Right now I'm too lazy to open my calculator and do some math. The correct answer is between 3 and 4.

Edit: I did some math in my mind. I think the answer is 3.2 or 3.3.

One tenth of a foot is a leg that is divided into ten parts, not 12. Apparently you have a 12 by 12 window, so all sides are the same. 12 feet 120 is tenths because you are 12 feet and one foot is 10 tenths.

If the area is 12 square feet and the windows are square, then if l is the length of the sides, then l 2 = 12 and therefore l = sqrt (12).

Square (12) = 3.46 (up to two decimals)

To the nearest tenth, you only need a decimal,

So 3.5 feet

Calculate the length of the square of 12 and its sides.

12 square feet = 3.46 feet

Rounding = 3.5 PI.
