eronica wants to cut a sheet of paper into squares with an area of 12 square inches. For the best approximation, the length of each side of the square pieces of paper must be approximately equal to - inches. If each side were exactly this length, the area of each square would be - square inches.

The side length must be 3.454 inches, so the exact area is 11.999 inches.

What side length the squares must have?

For a square of side length S, the area is given by:

A = S^2.

In this case, we know that the squares have an area of 12 square inches, replacing that in the area equation we get:

12 in^2 = S^2

If we apply the square root on both sides, we get:

√(12 in^2) = √S^2

3.464 in = S

This is an approximation to the side length, if each side measured this, the exact area would be:

A = (3.464 in)^2 = 11.999 in^2

Which is almost what we wanted to get.
