Myra's bulletin board has a length of 60 inches across the bottom. When she originally decorated it she used 192 inches of border material. What is the width (height) of the bulletin board?
2(60+h) = 192
60+h = 96
h = 36
To find the width (height) of Myra's bulletin board, we need to subtract the length of the border material from the length of the bulletin board.
1. We know that the length of the bulletin board across the bottom is 60 inches.
2. The total length of the border material used is 192 inches.
3. To find the width (height) of the bulletin board, we subtract the length of the border from the length of the bulletin board: 60 - 192 = -132 inches.
However, a negative value for length doesn't make sense in this context. Therefore, it is likely that there is an error in the given information, as it is not possible for the border material to be longer than the bulletin board itself. I would recommend double-checking the measurements or seeking clarification on the given data.
