Answer:
The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x
Length of room = 10 feet
Breadth of room = 15 feet
Length of rug = 10-2x
Breadth of rug = 15-2x
Area of rug =
We are given that the area of the rug is 24 square feet.
So,
---A






Substitute x =9 in A


LHS = RHS
Substitute x = 3.5


LHS = RHS
So, The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
