Suppose the width of the path is x. 
the dimensions of the extended rectangle are (12+x+x), and (16+x+x) 
(12+2x)(16+2x)=285
4x²+56x+192=285
4x²+56x-93=0
Not easy to factor it, so use the quadratic formula to solve:
x={-56+√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4 or x={-56-√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4
x=1.5 (ignore the negative solution.)

A small square cloth has an area of 361 cm2. Sarah sewed four of them together to form a larger square cloth. What is the perime
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

152 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Once again its a square. All sides are equal.

Square root 361 to get 19.

19 x 19 = 361

4 was sewed together.

You could either add, 361+361+361+361

Or you could multiply, 361 x 4

Either way you get 1444.

You could either square root 1444 to get the side length or you could add the previous side length to itself once to get the new side length of 38.

Now you need to get perimeter.

P=4 x length

P=4 x 38

152 cm

Problem 1.
Think of the outer rectangle by joining the two 5 in. sides with a segment.
Now you have an outer blue rectangle with a white rectangle missing.
For the outer rectangle:
The top and bottom sides measure 28 in.
The left and right sides measure 5 in. + 12 in. + 5 in. = 22 in.
Area of the outer rectangle = LW = 28 in. * 22 in. = 616 in.^2
Now look at the white square. You need to subtract this area from the outer rectangle.
area of white rectangle = LW = 12 in. * 15 in. = 180 in.^2

Subtract the areas:
616 in.^2 - 180 in.^2 = 436 in.^2

Answer:
<span>A. 436 Square Inches

Problem 2.
Do the same thing as for problem 1. Join the two 4 in. segments with a line.
</span>
<span>Think of the outer rectangle by joining the two 4 in. sides with a segment.
Now you have an outer blue rectangle with a white rectangle missing.
For the outer rectangle:
The top and bottom sides measure 24 in.
The left and right sides measure 4 in. + 12 in. + 4 in. = 20 in.
Area of the outer rectangle = LW = 24 in. * 20 in. = 480 in.^2
Now look at the white square. You need to subtract this area from the outer rectangle.
area of white rectangle = LW = 12 in. * 13 in. = 156 in.^2

Subtract the areas:
480 in.^2 - 156 in.^2 = 324 in.^2

Answer:
</span><span>B. 324 Square Inches</span>
