Given : A rectangular picture frame has a perimeter of 52 inches. The height of the frame is 12 inches.
To Find : The width of the frame .
Solution : Let us take the width of the frame be x . So , we know the formula to find the perimeter of rectangle as ;
Where , l is the length of the rectangle and b is the breadth of the rectangle .
⇒ Perimeter = 2 ( l + b ) .
⇒ 52 in. = 2 ( 12 + x ) in.
⇒ 52 in.= 24in. + 2x .
⇒ 2x =( 52 - 24 ) in
⇒ 2x = 28 in.
⇒ x = 28/2 in.
⇒ x = 14 in.
