The picture frames shown are both squares. The area of the larger frame is 4 times the area of the smaller frame. Find the side length of the larger frame.

step-by-step explanation: noo

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
