Answer:
The width of the frame is 0.0746 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that after the frame has been attached to the solar collector, the area that is left exposed is . As we see in the figure, the dimensions of this area are
and
where is the width of the frame.
The product of these dimensions must equal the exposed area:
Now since and
we have:
we expand this and solve for x using the quadratic formula:
we get two solutions:
We take the second solution i.e , because first one gives a width larger than the dimensions of the solar collector which cannot be possible.
Thus the width of the frame is 0.0746 meters.
