Answer: the width of the frame is 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the frame.

If the length of the mirror is 10 inches, the length of the mirror and the frame would be (x + 10) inches

If the width of the mirror is 7 inches, the width of the mirror and the frame would be (x + 7) inches

The mirror and frame together cover an area of 130 inches squared. This means that

(x + 10)(x + 7) = 130

x² + 7x + 10x + 70 = 130

x² + 17x + 70 - 130 = 0

x² + 17x - 60 = 0

x² + 20x - 3x - 60 = 0

x(x + 20) - 3(x + 20) = 0

x - 3 = 0 or x + 20 = 0

x = 3 or x = - 20

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 3

Answer:

28 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Work out the size of the triangle if it was a full rectangle

Height = 4 and Base = 2

→ Work out area of triangle

0.5 × Height × Base ⇒ 0.5 × 4 × 2 ⇒ 2 × 2 ⇒ 4

→ Minus the area of the triangle from the "imaginary full' rectangle

Area of rectangle = Length × Width ⇒ 8 × 4 ⇒ 32

32 - 4 = 28
