A gry is an old English measure for length, defined as 1/10 of a line, where line is another old English measure for length, defined as 1/12 inch. A common measure for length in the publishing business is a point, defined as 1/72 inch. What is an area of 0.75 `"gry"^(2)` in points squared (`"points"^(2)`)?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of converting an area of 0.75 gry² into points², we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the definitions of the units 1. A gry is defined as \( \frac{1}{10} \) of a line. 2. A line is defined as \( \frac{1}{12} \) of an inch. 3. A point is defined as \( \frac{1}{72} \) of an inch. ### Step 2: Convert gry to inches ...
