Algebra.Com's Answer #588867 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is logical? Use the 11 inch side to make the square or use the 6 inch side to make the square? Only one possible. Move 6 inches along the longer side, mark it there, cut off the remaining 5 inches, and you have a 6 by 6 inch square piece of fabric. This is as big as possible. \n" ); document.write( " |
