Question

The area of this rectangle is at most 400 square centimeters. Write and solve an inequality to represent the

Answer 1

Answer:

1ft≤h≤25ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is expressed as;

Area = Length * height

A = Lh

If the area of a rectangle is at most 400 square centimeter, this is expressed as;

A ≤400

≤ means at most that is the area of the rectangle cannot be greater than 400

Substitute the given value into the inequality expression

Lh ≤ 400

Given

L = 16

16h ≤ 400

Divide both sides by 16

16h/16 ≤ 400/16

h ≤ 400/16

h ≤ 25

Hence the possible values of the height are with the range 1ft≤h≤25ft since we cannot have a negative value for the dimension
