A painting hung in an art gallery is a square with an area of 9 ft^2. What is the length of one side in inches? A) 3 inches B) 36 inches C) 108 inches D) 12 inches

280

Step-by-step explanation:

Through trial and error, one can figure out that the answer is 280. Now, you might first try to go 8 * 6 * 4, which equals 192. However, if you get the product of two negative numbers, it becomes a positive, which we can use. Using the numbers -7, -5 (which cancel out each other making the product positive), and 8, the product of all of them is 280. The largest product that Khushali can make is 280.

8 * 6 * 4 = 192

(-7) * (-5) * 8 = 35 * 8 = 280
