We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.
We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.
Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.
Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.
I added a screenshot of the complete question along with the given choices.
<em><u>Answers:</u></em>
w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft ................> second option
w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft ...............> third option
w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft ...............> fifth option
<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>
<u>We are given that:</u>
length should be at least 20 ...........> length ≥ 20
equation for perimeter is : 2l + 2w ≤ 200
<u>We will check each option as follows:</u>
<u>Option 1:</u>
w = 50 ft and l = 10 ft
This option is incorrect as the proposed length is less than 20.
<u>Option 2:</u>
w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft
Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.
Now, we check the second condition:
2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(10) = 100 + 20 = 120 ≤ 200
The second condition is also satisfied.
This option is correct
<u>Option 3:</u>
w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft
Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.
Now, we check the second condition:
2l + 2w = 2(60) + 2(20) = 120 + 40 = 160 ≤ 200
The second condition is also satisfied.
This option is correct
<u>Option 4:</u>
w = 90 ft and l = 30 ft
Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.
Now, we check the second condition:
2l + 2w = 2(30) + 2(90) = 60 + 180 = 240 > 200
The second condition is not satisfied.
This option is incorrect
<u>Option 5:</u>
w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft
Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.
Now, we check the second condition:
2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(40) = 100 + 80 = 180 ≤ 200
The second condition is also satisfied.
This option is correct
Hope this helps :)
