Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
First let's establish that the problem requires the border to be as long as the total perimeter of the rectangular bulletin board.
Therefore:
Total length of border = Perimeter of rectangular bulletin board
As a rectangle has a total of four sides with two equivalent longer sides and two equivalent shorter sides, we must multiply the value of each of the two sides by two.
Total length of border = 2 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 )
Total length of border = 4 + 8
Total length of border = 12 feet
12 > 10
ANSWER:
Therefore, 10 feet of border isn't enough.

First, solve the area of the entire large rectangle (28)(45) = 1260
Next, find the area of the chunk that is cut out (11)(15) = 165
- we know the width is 15 because 45 - 6 - 24
Subtract the cut out piece from the overall rectangle 1260 - 165 = 1095
Answer:
Justin travels 211.83 miles on 8.2 gallons of gas.
Step-by-step explanation:
77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x miles / 8.2 gallons
Solve for x... multiply by 8.2 gallons on both sides (that cancels it on the right) side of the equation.
8.2 gallons *77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x
635.5/ 3.1 = x
211.83 miles = x
