Question 1154852: Bobby just received an award for employee of the year and wants to frame the plaque in b) such a way as it creates a border of uniform width around the rectangular plaque. He only has enough material to create a total of 16 square inches in area for the border. If the plaque is 6 inches by 9 inches, how wide should the border be? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):

The area of the plaque is 9*6 = 54 in^2
add 16 in^2 the border area
Total frame area = 70 in^2
Border width = 1/2 in
