The described picture frame can be visualized into two separate parts. The first area is equal to the area using the outermost dimensions for the length and width. 
             Area = Length x Height
              Area = (20 in) x (14 in) 
              Area = 280 in²

We are given that the area is only equal to 192 in². We subtract this value from the computed area.
         Difference = 280 in² - 192 in²
               difference = 88 in²

This area is equal to the area of the hollow space inside the frame. That is equal to,
      height = 20 in - 2x
      length = 14 in - 2x

The area,
               88 = (20 - 2x)(14 - 2x)

Simplify the right hand side of the equation.
             88 = 280 - 68x + 4x²

Divide the equation by 4,
            22 = 70 - 17x + x²

Transposing,
                x² - 17x - 48 = 0
The factors of the equation is 58.2. 

Thus, the thickenss is equal to 58.2 in

The blueprint of a pool has a scale of 2 inches equals 7 feet. The scale drawing is shown below. the length is 20 and the width
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A:

Blueprint 10 inches ⇒ Actual 35 feet

Blueprint 20 inches ⇒ Actual 70 feet

Part B:

The cost of the cover is $857.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

∵ The drawing scale is 2 inches for 7 feet

∵ The length = 20 inches and the width = 10 inches

∴ The actual length = (20 × 7) ÷ 2 = 70 feet

∴ The actual width = (10 × 7) ÷ 2 = 35 feet

Part B:

∵ The cost per square foot = $0.35

∵ The area of the pool = 70 × 35 = 2450 feet ²

∴ The cost of the cover = 2450 × 0.35 = $857.5
