Question

Jeremy is building a large deck for a community center. The deck is shaped as a rectangle. The width of the deck is 29 feet. The perimeter of the deck is to be at least 134 feet.

a. Write an inequality that represents all possible values for the length of the deck.

b. Find all possible values for the length of the deck.

Answer 1

A.
P=2(L+W)
W=29
P is at least (means greater than or equal than ) 134

so
134≤2(L+29) is the inequality


B.
solve
divide both sides by 2
67≤L+29
minus 29 from both sides
38≤L
Length is any value greater than or euqal to 38ft
