Let
x-----------> <span>uniform width surrounding the picture

we know that
(10+2x)*(12+2x)=224-----> 120+20x+24x+4x</span>²=224
4x²+44x+120-224=0
4x²+44x-104=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see  the attached figure

the solution is
x=2 in

the answer is
2 inches

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

12.94

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 7.9 * sin(70)/sin(35)

= 7.9 * 0.9397 / 0.5736

= 12.94
