A diagram represents a photograph in a frame. The photo has a perimeter of 23 inches and the area of the whole figure is 58.5 square inches. If the frame is 1 inch thick, what is the area of the photo in square inches?

I really need help I have been at this for 1 hour and I need the answer within the next hour, the assignment is due soon. I need help plss

the answer is -6

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is -6 because its next to the variable m

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²
