Question

the length of a rectangle is 5 minutes longer than its with if the perimeter of the rectangle must be at least 34 units what are the possible lamps of the rectangle right in any quality to represent the problem then solve the inequality​

Answer 1

w ≥ 6

l ≥ 11

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to P = 2l+2w where l=length and w=width. Here the length is 5 feet longer than the width or 5+w. This means the width is w. Substitute P = 34, l=5+w and w into the perimeter equation. Then solve for w.

34 ≤ 2*(5+w) + 2w

34 ≤ 10+2w+2w

34 ≤ 10+4w

24 ≤ 4w

6 ≤ w

This means the width must be at least 6 so the solution is w ≥ 6.

To find the length substitute 6 into l ≤ 5+w.

l ≤ 5 + 6

l ≤ 11

The length is l ≥ 11.
