Assume that the length of the rectangle is "l" and that the width is "w".

We are given that: 
(1) The length is one more than twice the base. This means that:
l = 2w + 1 .......> equation I
(2) The perimeter is 92 cm. This means that:
92 = 2(l+w) ...........> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II to get the width as follows:
92 = 2(l+w)
92 = 2(2w+1+w)
92/2 = 3w + 1
46 = 3w + 1
3w = 46-1 = 45
w = 45/3
w = 15

Substitute with w in equation I to get the length as follows:
l = 2w + 1 
l = 2(15) + 1
l = 30 + 1 = 31

Based on the above calculations:
length of base = 31 cm
width of base = 15 cm

Write an inequality for x that would give this rectangle a perimeter of at least 300ft
Travka [436]

Answer:

The inequality for x is:

x\geq 142

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of rectangle = 3 ft

Height or length of rectangle = (x+5) ft

Perimeter is at least 300 ft

To write an inequality for x.

Solution:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

⇒ 2l+2w

where l represents length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle.

Plugging in the given values in the formula, the perimeter can be given as:

⇒ 2(x+5)+2(3)

Using distribution:

⇒ 2x+10+6

Simplifying.

⇒ 2x+16

The perimeter is at lest 300 ft. So, the inequality can be given as:

⇒ 2x+16\geq 300

Solving for x

Subtracting both sides by 16.

⇒ 2x+16-16\geq 300-16

⇒ 2x\geq284

Dividing both sides by 2.

⇒ \frac{2x}{2}\geq \frac{284}{2}

⇒ x\geq 142   (Answer)
