Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: Width of canvas = 9 inches Area left for painting after painting the border = 70 square inches. Explanation : Since we have given that Area of painting = 108 square inches Length of canvas = 12 inches As we know that [tex]\text{Area of rectangle} = length\times breadth[/tex][tex]108=12\times breadth\\\\\frac{108}{12}=breadth\\\\9=breadth[/tex]So, breadth of canvas = 9 inches .Now, Chloe paints a 1 inch wide blue border on the canvas.[tex]\text{So, remaining length left for painting after painting the border} = 9-1-1=9-2=7\text{ inches}[/tex][tex]\text{ Remaining breadth left for painting after painting the border }= 12-1-1=12-2= 10\text{ inches}[/tex] [tex]\text{So , area of remaining portion }= length\times breadth \\\\ \text{ area of remaining portion }=7\times 10\\\\\text{ area of remaining portion }=70 \text{ square inches}[/tex]Hence, remaining area = 70 square inches .
