Question

Can someone help me?? I just need 2 and 3

Answer 1

The current area of Mr. Milstein's kitchen table is:

`=17(1)/(2)\text{ square fe}e\text{t}`

The new width of Mr. Milstein's kitchen table = 5 feet

The area of the new kitchen table if the length is l is given by

`\text{ Area (A) = length x width = 5l}`

Note that the area of the proposed kitchen table should be larger than the current one.

`\begin{gathered} \text{ The current area = }17(1)/(2)\text{ square fe}e\text{t} \\ \text{ The new area = 5 x l = 5l} \\ \text{ Therefore,} \\ \text{ proposed area > new area} \\ \text{ 5l >}17(1)/(2)\text{ square fe}e\text{t} \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`\text{ 5l >}17(1)/(2)\text{ square fe}e\text{t can be used to get the length of the new table}`

The correct option is F
