Question 1092130
<br>Since the problem says the total area is 470 square inches, instead of APPROXIMATELY 470 square inches, I would assume the dimensions of the picture are whole numbers.<br>
With a 5 inch border, the dimensions of the picture plus frame are (length of picture) plus 10 and (width of picture) plus 10.<br>
Since we want whole number measurements, we look for ways to write 470 as the product of two whole numbers, each of which must be at least 10.<br>
But the only way to do that is 470 = 47*10, which means the dimensions of the picture itself would be 37 by 0 -- which makes no sense.<br>
So I suspect there is a problem with the numbers you show for the problem.
