Answer:

Part A. C=9

Part B. (w+3)² =139

Part C. w = 8.8 inch

Explanation:

Given from the question length of the the picture = (2w+12) inches

Width of the picture = w inches

Area of the picture = 260 inch²

Part A. Area of the picture with the given dimensions= w×(2w+12)

Or w(2w+12) = 260

2w²+12w = 260

2(w²+6w) = 2×(130)

w²+6w = 130

Or w²+6w +9 = 130+9 ⇒ which is in the form of w²+6w+c = 130+c

Therefore for c = 9 we will get a perfect square trinomial.

Part B. As we have seen the equation in part A.

As required equation will be (w+3)²=139

Part C. Since (w+3)² = 139

Then by taking under root on both the sides of the equation

(w+3) =√139 = 11.8

(w+3)-3=11.8-3

w = 8.8 inch
