Question

The width of a rectangle is 5 feet more than its length. The perimeter is, at most,

50 feet. What is the largest possible width of the rectangle?
(write and solve inequality)

Answer 1

The largest possible width is 15 feet.

Explanation:

`w=l+5\\2w+2l\leq 50\\w+l\leq 25\\`

`l+5+l\leq 25\\2l\leq 20\\l\leq 10`

`w\leq 15`
