the printed matter on a 14 by 18 centimeter page of a book must covor 140 square centimeters. if all margins are to be the same
width, how wide should they be?
1 answer:
Let
x----------------> <span>width of the margin
we know that
[Area </span><span>printed matter]=140
</span>[Area printed matter]=[(14-2x)*(18-2x)]
then
[(14-2x)*(18-2x)]=140--------> (252-28x-36x+4x²)=140
(252-64x+4x²)=140----------> 4x²-64x+112=0
using a graph tool---------> <span>I solve the quadratic equation
see the attached figure
x1=2
x2=14----------> is not solution
the answer is
the margin should be 2 cm</span>

we can divide the composite shape into on quadrilateral and triangle as shown in the diagram. since the line that joins the two shape is parallel to the base AB, the angle DEC is 85°.The angle CEA is 180°- angle DEC = 180-85=95. Angle BCE is sum of angle CEA, ABC and EAB subtracted from360°= 360°-(95+95+85)=85°. Angle DCE is 120°- ECB=35°. So, angle CDE = 180°-(35°+85°)= 60°. For reference see the diagram.
