Answer:

  1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

All areas are in cm^2. For a width w, the border will have an area equal to the product of its centerline length and its width:

  border area = 2((20-w) +(15-w))·w = w(70 -4w)

This area is 32% of the total cover area, so is ...

  0.32(20)(15) = 96

Equating these expressions for the area gives ...

  96 = 70w -4w^2

  w^2 -17.5w = -24 . . . . . divide by -4

  w^2 -17.5w +8.75^2 = -24 +8.75^2 . . . . . complete the square

  (w -8.75)^2 = 52.5625 . . . . simplify

  w -8.75 = ±√52.5625 = ±7.25

A border width only makes sense if it is between 0 and 7.5 cm, so the appropriate value for w is ...

  w = 8.75 ± 7.25 . . . . . . . . . add 8.75

  w = 8.75 -7.25 = 1.50 . . . . . the solution w=16 makes no sense

The border width is 1.5 cm.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

L = 70

W = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

P 204 feet

W = x

L  = 2x + 6

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2*(2x + 6) + 2*x

P = 4x + 12 + 2x

P = 6x + 12

But we know that P = 204  So 6x + 12 = 204

6x + 12 = 204                    Subtract 12 from both sides

6x + 12 - 12 = 204 - 12       Collect like terms on the right

6x = 192                             Divide by 6

x = 192/6

x = 32

Answer

W = 32

L = 2*W + 6

L = 2*32 + 6

L = 64 + 6

L = 70
