Question

help

Answer 1

Do you know the area formula?

Answer 2

LxWxH

Answer 3

Yes, So if the frames area is 48 inches what would you do with the extra 1 inch

Answer 4

multiply?

Answer 5

Ok, The picture has a 1 inch frame what would that mean?

Answer 6

the frame is one inch wide

Answer 7

Yes, But what does that mean for the problem. What would you do?

Answer 8

@boredfr

Answer 9

I don't know

Answer 10

You need to figure out the dimensions of the frame in order to find the dimensions of the picture to calculate the area

Answer 11

So if the frame and picture is spare (even though I drew a rectangle) then what times its self will give you 48?

Answer 12

6.928

Answer 13

What? that doesnt make sense

Answer 14

because it is wrong...

Answer 15

wait so how do you do it

Answer 16

what we are asked to find, is just that middle square part -- to find that we run into 2 very simple equations
x+2 would be one of the sides -- since we will find the area of the \( \square \), we have got 2 of that -- so the area of the whole thing would be
\( Area = (x+2)(x+2) \)

Answer 17

and the area of the painting itself would be x
\( Area_{\;\square} = x \times x \)

Answer 18

lets put it all together in 1 equation -- so the are of the whole thing, minus the area of just the painting
\[ Area\;\square = (x+2)(x+2) -( x \times x)\]

Answer 19

do the math and reply when you have an answer lol.

Answer 20

oh i forgot -- we know that the area of the whole thing is 48 inches \( ^2 \) right?
so the proper equation would be
\(48 = (x+2)(x+2) -( x \times x)
\)

Answer 21

4x^2?

Answer 22

what? how did you get that?
