A steel company is making flat rectangular frames as a part of a new product they are launching. Each frame will be cut out of a piece of steel and will have a final area as dose to 28 cm² as possible. The width of the frame needs to be uniform throughout. The inside dimensions of the
frame must be 11 cm by 6 cm.
Complete the equation that models the above situation, and find the width of the frame, x
6 cm
11 cm
The area of the steel frame can be modeled by the following equation.
X-28 = 0
cm.
The width of the frame, x rounded to the nearest hundredth, is approximately
