Answer: -12.5
Step by step explanation
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
First let's establish that the problem requires the border to be as long as the total perimeter of the rectangular bulletin board.
Therefore:
Total length of border = Perimeter of rectangular bulletin board
As a rectangle has a total of four sides with two equivalent longer sides and two equivalent shorter sides, we must multiply the value of each of the two sides by two.
Total length of border = 2 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 )
Total length of border = 4 + 8
Total length of border = 12 feet
12 > 10
ANSWER:
Therefore, 10 feet of border isn't enough.

Here we have one large triangle with two smaller triangles drawn inside. The two smaller triangles are similar.
Thus, a/12 = 12/16, or a/12 = 3/4, or 4a=36, or a = 9.
Find b in the same way: b/20 = 9/12 (and so on).
