We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)

l = length

w = width

In our problem,

l = 5x

w = 5x - 4

Let's create an inequality to help us solve this problem.

2(5x + (5x - 4)) ≥ 96

Let's start off by simplifying the terms inside the parentheses.

2(10x - 4) ≥ 96

Distribute the 2

20x - 8 ≥ 96

Add 8 to both sides.

20x ≥ 104

Divide both sides by 20

x ≥ 5.2

Let's plug 5.2 into x for our length and width.

Length = 5x = 5(5.2) = 26 cm

Width = 5x - 4 = 5(5.2) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22 cm

The smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle are, length = 26 cm and width = 22 cm

Answer:

width = 10 cm

length = 14 cm

The smallest dimension is 10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2(x + 4) ≥ 48

Solve for x.

2x + 2x + 8 ≥ 48

4x + 8 ≥ 48

4x ≥ 40

 x ≥ 10

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

0.9953, 3.3629<x<4.0371

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that slader the internal revenue service claims it takes an average of 3.7 hours to complete a 1040 tax form, assuming th4e time to complete the form is normally distributed witha standard devait of the 30 minutes:

If X represents the time to complete then

X is N(3.7, 0.5) (we convert into uniform units in hours)

a) percent of people would you expect to complete the form in less than 5 hours

=100*P(x

b) P(b<x<c) = 0.50

we find that here

c = 4.0371 and

b = 3.3629

Interval would be

(3.3629, 4.0371)
