    Area of a square quilt = 289 square inches

    Area of a smaller square quilt = 121 square inches

    Area of a square = a²

    Side length of big square quilt = √289 in² = 17 inches

    side length of small square quilt = √121 in² = 11 inches

    Perimeter of big square = 17 inches * 4 = 68 inches

    perimeter of small square = 11 inches * 4 = 44 inches

    difference = 68 inches - 44 inches = 24 inches.

    The answer is 42, 289/4=72.25, then 121/4=30.25

    so we subtract the answers, 72.25-20.25 = 42

    answer=42
