Answer 1

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

$\text{Area of rectangle} = length\times breadth$

$108=12\times breadth\\\\\frac{108}{12}=breadth\\\\9=breadth$

So, breadth of canvas = 9 inches .

Now, Chloe paints a 1 inch wide blue border on the canvas.

$\text{So, remaining length left for painting after painting the border} = 9-1-1=9-2=7\text{ inches}$

$\text{ Remaining breadth left for painting after painting the border }= 12-1-1=12-2= 10\text{ inches}$

$\text{So , area of remaining portion }= length\times breadth \\\\ \text{ area of remaining portion }=7\times 10\\\\\text{ area of remaining portion }=70 \text{ square inches}$

Hence, remaining area = 70 square inches .
