A new rectangle with the word “STROM” is to be constructed inside the mat of an outside rectangle. The width of the mat surrounding the rectangular “STROM” logo will be the same. The area of the boundary around the word “STROM” will be the same as the logo itself. Determine the uniform width of the boundary.
i made a picture of it including the measurements from the sheet:
