Answer:

width of the border is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

size = 8 inches by 10 inches

area = 144 square inches

to find out

width of the border

solution

first we consider width of border is x

area of new full rectangle =  (8 + 2x ) × ( 10 + 2x )

so we know  area of photo = 8 × 10 = 80 square inches

and area of border = 144 square inches that is given

so new area of photo with the border is 80 + 144 = 224 square inches

and we can say that

area of full rectangle  - area of the photograph = Area of Border

(8 + 2x) × (10 + 2x) – (80) = 144  square inches

80 + 16x + 20x + 4x^{2} – 80 = 144

4x^{2} + 36x – 144 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

2x^{2} + 9x – 36 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

(x + 12) (x – 3) = 0  

so here x have two value one is negative and other is positive

so we consider only positive value

x = -12 or x = 3

width of the border is 3 inches

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (−10, −8) and (−6, −2), what is the standard form equation of the circle? A) (x
kolbaska11 [484]
Selections B and D both appear to be appropriate.
  B) (x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13
  D) (x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13

_____
The center is at the midpoint of the diameter, ((-10-6)/2, (-8-2)/2) = (-8, -5). For center (h, k) and radius r, the equation is
  (x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²
  (x -(-8))² +(y -(-5))² = (√13)²
  (x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13

Find the total area for the regular pyramid.<br><br><br><br> T. A. =
Allisa [31]
The total area is:
 A = Ab + Al
 Where,
 Ab: base area
 Al: lateral area
 We have then:
 For the base area:
 Ab = (2) * (2)
 Ab = 4 units ^ 2
 For the lateral area:
 Al = (4) * (1/2) * (2) * (root ((1) ^ 2 + (3) ^ 2))
 Al = (4) * (root (1 + 9))
 Al = 4raiz (10) units ^ 2
 Total area:
 A = 4 + 4raiz (10)
 Answer:
 
A = 4 + 4raiz (10)
