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

Find the seventh term of the
jekas [21]

Answer:

T_7 = \frac{64}{729}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a =1

r = \frac{2}{3}

Required

Determine the 7th term

The nth term of a gp is:

T_n = a * r^{n-1

So, we have:

T_7 = 1 * \frac{2}{3}^{7-1

T_7 = 1 * \frac{2}{3}^{6

T_7 = 1 * \frac{2^6}{3^6}

T_7 = 1 * \frac{64}{729}

T_7 = \frac{64}{729}
