Answer:
70 inches
Explanation:
From the diagram attached,
Assuming the width, lenght and diagonal of the rectangle forms a right angle triangle.
Applying pythagoras theorem,
a² = b²+c²................... Equation 1
Where a = diagonal = 25 inches, b = width = 3x inches, c = length = 4x inches
Substitute these values into equation 1 and solve for x
25² = (4x)²+(3x)²
625 = 14x²+9x²
625 = 25x²
25x² = 625
x² = 625/25
x² = 25
x = √25
x = 5 inches.
Therefore,
Width(w) = 3×5 = 15 inches
Length(l) = 4×5 = 20 inches
Perimeter (P) = 2(l+b)
P = 2(15+20)
P = 2(35)
P = 70 inches
Hence the perimeter of the frame is 70 inches
