Answer:

C. 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be length and w be the width of the rectangle,

Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + width )

= 2 ( l + w )

According to the question,

l - w = 4 ⇒ l = 4 + w

Also, 2(l+w)=36

2(4 + w +w)=36

4 + 2 w = 18

2w = 14

⇒ w = 7

So, the width of the rectangle is 7 inches.

And, length = 4 + 7 = 11 inches

Thus, the area of the rectangle = length × width

= 11 × 7

= 77 in²

Option 'C' is correct.

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of open acres

y ----> the number of developed acres

we know that

$x+y \geq 4$ -----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the solid line $x+y=4$

$y-x\leq 1$ -----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area below the solid line $y-x=1$
