A rectangular painting measures 13 inches by 20 inches and contains a frame of uniform width around the four edges. The perimeter of the rectangle formed by the painting and its frame is 98 inches. Determine the width of the frame.​

Respuesta :

The width of the frame is 8 inches.

We are given that:

The measures of the rectangular painting are:

Length = 13 inches

width = 20 inches

Now, the frame is of uniform with around the corner.

Let it be x inches.

So the new dimensions will be:

Length = 13 + x inches

Width = 20 + x inches.

Also, we are given that:

Perimeter = 98 inches

So, we get that:

P = 2(l + b)

Substituting the values, we get that:

98 = 2 (13 + x + 20 + x)

98 = 2( 33 + 2 x)

98 = 66 + 4 x

4 x = 98 - 66

4 x = 32

x = 32 / 4

x = 8 inches.

Therefore, the width of the frame is 8 inches.
