Question

A manager needs to rope off a rectangular section for a private party. The length of the section must be 7.6 meters. The manager can use no more than 28 meters of rope. What inequality could you use to find the possible width, w, of the roped-off section?

Answer 1

Answer:

$W\leq 6.4\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2(L+W)$

we know that

$L=7.6\ m$

$P\leq28\ m$

substitute

$2(7.6+W)\leq28$

solve for W

$(7.6+W)\leq14$

$W\leq14-7.6$

$W\leq 6.4\ m$
