The area of a square patch of fabric is 2.25 square inches. what is the side length of the patch?

 Side length of the patch = 1.5 inch.

Explanation:

Area of square = a², where a is the side of the square.

Here area is given by 2.25 square inches.

So, we have a² = 2.25 inch²

       So, side of the square is given by

       Side of square, a = 1.5 inch

  Side length of the patch = 1.5 inch.

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
