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

Construct an equilateral triangle of side 7cm and construct circumcircle.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

To do this, all you need is to draw triangle with each side being 7 cm, and a circle that intersects all three of its corners.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. With a ruler and a pencil, draw a 7cm line.
  2. With a compass set to a radius of 7cm draw an arc centered around the right end of the line.
  3. With the same compass, still at 7cm, draw an arc centered around the left end of the line.
  4. These two arcs will intersect on either side of the line (you only need one side, so you only need a small arc in the right place, roughly where you think the third point if the triangle is.
  5. Where those arcs intersect is the third point on your triangle.  Mark that, and then trace two lines from that point to either end of the line segment you started with.

<em>You now have an equilateral triangle with 7cm sides.  Next you need to draw the circle</em>

  1. Measure the halfway point on two of your three lines.
  2. Draw a line from that each of those halfway points to the opposite corner. The new lines you're drawing will be perpendicular to the edge your measuring against.
  3. You have now drawn two line segments, and they intersect in the center of the circle.  Now take your compass and set its radius to the distance from that center point to one of the three corner points.
  4. Centered on that middle point, trace a circle with the selected radius.

And you're done!
