Total length of iron edging needed to create the square frame is 43.5 inches
Important properties of square:
All four interior angles are equal to 90°
All four sides of the square are congruent or equal to each other.
The opposite sides of the square are parallel to each other.
The diagonals of the square bisect each other at 90°
The two diagonals of the square are equal to each other.
Diagonal of square = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]a
9 = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]a
a = [tex]\frac{9}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
a = 6.36 inches
Iron edging needed to create the square frame = 4*6.36 = 25.44 inches
iron edging needed to create two diagonals = 2*9 = 18 inches
total length = 18 + 25.44
= 43.44 ~ 43.5 inches
Thus, Total length required is 43.5 inches
