Question

Keisha is designing a rectangular giraffe enclosure with a length of at most 125 m. The animal sanctuary can afford at most 300 m of fencing, and the length of the enclosure must be at least double the width. a. Write inequalities to represent each constraint where x = width and y = length. b. Graph and solve the linear system of inequalities. c What does the solution mean?

Answer 1

According to the calculations, the length of the enclosure is 100 meters, and the width is 50 meters.

To determine, using a linear system of inequalities, how long each side of the rectangle measures, the following calculation must be performed:

Length + width = Total fencing

• 125 x 2 + 125 = X
• 250 + 125 = X
• 375 = X
• 375 - 300 = 75
• 75/3 = 25
• 125 - 25 = 100
• 100 x 2 + 100 = X
• 200 + 100 = X
• 300 = X
• 200/2 = 100
• 100/2 = 50

Therefore, the length of the enclosure is 100 meters, and the width is 50 meters.
