1 answer:
Answer:
Carmen's score is 75 strokes.
Linda's score is 81 strokes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the score of Linda be "x".
<em>It is given that Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's.</em>
Thus, Carmen's score is (x-6).
The total score of the girls is
=
The total score is given to be 156.
Thus, the equation becomes,
<em>Thus Linda's score is 81 and Carmen's score is (156-81) 75.</em>

Given that square print has side length = 8 inches
Given that you make a frame using strip of wood 1 1/4 inch wide. Since frame is on both sides of the square print so new side length after adding the frame = inches
Area of the square is given by formula where x is the side of square
Shape of the frame including print will also be square so
Area of the frame including print square inches
Area of the print = square inches
We have to find the area of frame only so we can subtract area of print from the total area
Area of frame = [Area of frame including print] - [Area of print]
Area of frame = 110.25-64 = 46.25
Hence final answer is 46.25 square inches
