<u>Answer</u>

The first student was right.

The length of the long side is at least 13 inches.

<u>Explanation</u>

The perimeter of any figure is the distance all round.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w). Where l is length and w is the width.

2(l + w) ≥ 30

2{(x-3) + 2} ≥ 30

2(x-3+2) = 30

2(x - 1) ≥ 30

x - 1 ≥ 15

x ≥ 16

When x = 16,

l = 16-3

  = 13 inches

The length of the long side is 13 inches. The first student was right.

Answer:

The true statement is <em>"The length of the long side must be at least 13 inches"</em><em>.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches which will be its width.

The perimeter of the rectangle is known which is 30 inches.

The longest side (length) is said to be 3 less an unknown number, so assuming an unknown number x, it will be x - 3.

We can write an equation for perimeter:

<em>Perimeter = 2l + 2w</em>

<em>Perimeter <= 2(x-3) +2(2) </em>

30 <= 2x - 6 + 4

2x >= 32

x >= 16

Therefore the length x - 3 would be = 16 - 3 = 13 inches

So the first student is right.
