Arectangular picture measures 6 inches by 8 inches. simon wants to build a wooden frame for the picture so that the framed picture takes up a maximum area of 100 square inches on his wall. the pieces of wood that he uses to build the frame all have the same width. write an equation or inequality that could be used to determine the maximum width of the pieces of wood for the frame simon could create.

Where, x ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The rectangular picture has,

Length = 6 inches,

Width = 8 inches,

Suppose x be the width( in inch ) of the piece of wooden,

After joining the piece,

New length = 6 + 2x ,

New width = 8 + 2x

So, the area of the final figure,

According to the question,

V ≤  100 inch²

But, width can not be negative,

i.e.  x ≥ 0

multiply length by height. multiply the length by the height, and then double the product. work out 10 x 10 results = 100 square inches, then work out 100 x 2 = 200. the answer is 200 square inches.
