Each triangle has angles and all of those angles add up to 180 degrees total. since both of those angles at the bottom are equal then their angles would each be 70.

<h3><u>Option A</u></h3>

$4 x^{2}+32 x-80=0$ is the required equation to calculate width of rectangular frame that has a total area of 140 square inches.

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

Length of a rectangular frame is given as 2x + 10

Width of the rectangular frame is given as 2x + 6

Total area = 140 square inches

<em><u>The area of rectangular frame is given as:</u></em>

$\text {area of rectangle}=\text {length } \times \text {width}$

Plugging in values, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{(2 x+10)(2 x+6)=140} \\\\ {4 x^{2}+12 x+20 x=80} \\\\ {4 x^{2}+32 x-80=0}\end{array}$

This is the required equation to calculate width of rectangular frame

Solve the above quadratic equation to get the value of "x"

$4 x^{2}+32 x-80=0$

<em><u>Use the quadratic equation formula:</u></em>

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Here a = 4 ; b = 32 ; c = -80

$x=\frac{-32 \pm \sqrt{32^{2}-4(4)(-80)}}{2(4)}$

$x=\frac{-32 \pm \sqrt{2304}}{8}$

x = 2 or x = -10

Now measurement cannot be negative, so taking the positve value of "x", we can calculate the width

So put "x" = 2

Width of the rectangular frame = 2x + 6 = 2(2) + 6 = 10

Thus the width of frame is 10 inches
