Question

3. Ray cut out a square from a piece of construction paper. The area of the square was greater than

25 square centimeters and less than 100 square centimeters. Which of the following best describes x,
the length in centimeters of a side of his square?
A. 0 B. 5 C. 10 < x < 50
D. 25 < x < 100

Answer 1

5≤x≥10

(I don't see this answer in the given choices but I checked multiple times and this is the correct answer)

Explanation:

Area of square is x^2

The minimum limit is 25 so x*x=25 so min of x is 5

The maximum limit is 100 so x*x=100 so max of x is 10

x is between 5 and 10 so 5≤x≥10
