Area of rectangular board = length (inches) x width (inches) = 12" x 16" = 192 in²
Area of the border is given as 128 in²
Adding the area of the board and the border gives (192 + 128)in² = 320 in²
Set this up as the algebraic equation (x + 12)(x + 16) = 320 and solve for x:
Remember to use the FOIL method, which is multiplying the terms in the order of first, outer, inner, last.
x² + 12x + 16x + 192 = 320
x² + 28x + 192 - 320 = 0
x² + 28x - 128 = 0
solve for the two x values:
(x + 32)(x - 4) = 0, and knowing we only need the positive x value
x = 4 or 4 inches is the width of the border

Sample response:
Step-by-step explanation:
She would multiply the rate by the years to find the average rise in water levels, or 1.8 times 6.2 = 11.16. To find the difference between the water levels, she would subtract -13.64 from 11.16.
Answer:
a = 36°
b = 144°
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>Method 1</u></h3>
Number of sides = n = 10
Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°
= (10 - 2) × 180°
= 8 × 180°
= 1440°
Interior angle = b = sum of interior angles ÷ number of sides
b = 1440 ÷ 10
b = 144°
a + b = 180° (Sum of angles in the straight line)
a + 144° = 180°
a + 144° - 144° = 180° - 144°
a = 36°
<h3><u>Method 2</u></h3>
Number of sides = 10
Exterior angle = a = 360° ÷ Number of sides
a = 360° ÷ 10
a = 36°
a + b = 180° (Sum of angles in the straight line)
36° + b = 180°
36° + b - 36° = 180° - 36°
b = 144°
