The Puzzled Artist



                An artist wanted to paint a picture on a canvas which would allow for a margin of 4 inches on top and bottom and two inches on each side. He wanted the picture itself to occupy 72 square inches.

               What would be the smallest dimensions, the canvas he is going to obtain, should possess?

Answer:   The canvas must be 10 inches in width and 20 inches in height and the picture itself 6 inches wide and 12 inches high.
