Question 608813: A 5 by seven inch rectangular picture has a frame of uniform width.If the outer edge of the frame is to have a perimeter of 32 inches , how wide should the frame be? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! length of picture=7 in
width of frame = 5in
uniform width all round = x inches
length of frame = 7+x
width = 5+x
Perimeter of frame = 2(L+W)
=2(7+x+5+x)
2(2x+12)= 32
/2
2x+12=16
-12
2x=4
/2
x=2
width = 2inch wide
