Answer:
9.14 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
Assuming the diagram attached, is similar to diagram required to support the question,
From the diagram,
Applying pythagoras theorem
a² = b²+c²...................... Equation 1
Where a = 13.4 in, b = x in, c = 9.8 in.
Substitute these values into equation 1
13.4² = x²+9.8²
x² = 13.4²-9.8²
x² = 179.56-96.04
x² = 83.52
x = √(83.52)
x = 9.14 inches
Hence the distance between the rods is 9.14 inches
The area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, A rectangular painting is 24 inches wide and 20 inches tall without the frame
The area of rectangle is given as:
<em><u>Find the area of painting without frame:</u></em>
Length = 20 inches
Width = 24 inches
Thus area of painting without frame is 480 square inches
With the frame, it is 28 inches wide and 24 inches tall
<em><u>Find the area of painting with frame:</u></em>
Length = 24 inches
Width = 28 inches
Thus area of painting with frame is 672 square inches
<em><u>What is the area of the frame not covered by the painting</u></em>
Area of the frame not covered by the painting = Area with farme - Area without frame
Area of the frame not covered by the painting = 672 - 480 = 192
Thus the area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches
