B) A sign on a bridge reads, "Maximum height of vehicles is equal to 14 feet." C) A sign on a bridge reads, "Maximum height of vehicles is greater than 14 feet." D) A sign on a bridge reads, "Maximum height of vehicles is greater than or equal to 14 feet."

Answer 1

A, :) i just read it there is no equation necessary

Answer 2

Answer:

A) A sign on a bridge reads, "Maximum height of vehicles is 14 feet."

Step-by-step explanation:

If h represents the maximum height of vehicle in feet,

Maximum height of vehicles is 14 feet,

i.e. h is less than or equal to 14,

⇒ h ≤ 14

Maximum height of vehicles is equal to 14 feet.

i.e. h = 14

Maximum height of vehicles is greater than 14 feet,

i.e. h is greater than 14,

⇒ h > 14

Maximum height of vehicles is greater than or equal to 14 feet.

i.e. h is greater than or equal to 14,

⇒ h ≥ 14

Hence, OPTION A is correct.
