Question

Laura is making a small sign in the shape of a triangle for her store. She wants the height of the triangle to be 4 inches. The area of the sign must be less than 14 square inches. (Laura doesn't want to buy more material.) Write an inequality that describes the possible base lengths (in inches) of the triangle.

Answer 1

{1/2 (b)(h) = Area of a triangle}

1/2(b)(4) < 14
