Question

Carmen begins her next painting on a rectangular canvas that is 82.7 cm long and has an area of 8.137.68 cm2 . Will the painting fit in a frame with an opening that is 82.7 cm long and 95 cm wide. Explain

Answer 1

Length of the rectangular canvas = 82.7 cm
Area of the of the rectangular canvas = 8137.68 cm^2
Let us assume the width of the rectangular canvas = x
Then
Area of the rectangular canvas = Length * Width
8137.68 = 82.7 * x
x = 8137.68/82.7
   = 98.4 cm
So the rectangular canvas will not fit in the frame as the width of the frame is 95 cm and the width of the painting canvas is 98.4 cm.I hope the process is clear for your understanding.

Answer 2

8137.68 / 82.7 = 98.4 cm
98.4 is larger than 95 therefore no
