Answer:

w = width

h = height

2(w+h) < 200

w + h < 100

since w = 36, then

36 + h < 100

h < 100 - 36

h < 64

Explanation:

The perimeter of the rectangular picture frame can be calculated by the equation,

2h + 2w = P

where h and w are height and width , respectively. Substituting the known values and the condition for the inequality,

2h + 2(36 in) < 200

The inequality gives h as,

h < 64

Thus, the answer is letter A.
