To find the length of one side of a square frame given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side}^2
\]
Given that the area is 55 square inches, you can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side}^2 = 55
\]
To find the length of one side, take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side} = \sqrt{55}
\]
Now, calculating the square root:
\[
\sqrt{55} \approx 7.416198
\]
Rounding this to the nearest tenth of an inch:
\[
\text{side} \approx 7.4 \text{ inches}
\]
Therefore, the length of one side of the frame to the nearest tenth of an inch is **7.4 inches**.
