Carmen begins her next painting on a rectangular canvas that is 82.7 cm long and has an area of 8.137.68 cm2. Will the painting fit in a frame with an opening that is 82.7 cm long and 95 cm wide. Explain

8137.68 / 82.7 = 98.4 cm

98.4 is larger than 95 therefore no

Length of the rectangular canvas = 82.7 cm

Area of the of the rectangular canvas = 8137.68 cm^2

Let us assume the width of the rectangular canvas = x

Then

Area of the rectangular canvas = Length * Width

8137.68 = 82.7 * x

x = 8137.68/82.7

= 98.4 cm

So the rectangular canvas will not fit in the frame as the width of the frame is 95 cm and the width of the painting canvas is 98.4 cm. I hope the process is clear for your understanding.
