I am gonna go for D is the answer.
Answer:
width=2 ft, length=(3x+4)ft
Area of Rectangle=width x length
=2ft . (3x+4)ft
=6x+8 ft sq
Area of Rectangle <56 ft sq
6x+8 ft sq <56 ft sq
6x < 56 ft sq - 8 ft sq
6x < 48 ft sq Substeracting 8 on both sides
6x/6 < 48 ft sq/6 Dividing by 6 on both sides
x < 8 ft sq
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 24 inches
w = x
l = 3 + x
P = 2l + 2w
24 = 2(3+x) + 2(x)
24 = 6 + 2x + 2x
24 = 6 + 4x
24 - 6 = 4x
18 = 4x
18/4 = x
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
Therefore, w = 4.5 inches and l = 7.5 inches
