Let
x-------> the width of the rectangular area
y------> the length of the rectangular area
we know that
y=x+15------> equation 1
perimeter of a rectangle=2*[x+y]
2x+2y <= 150-------> equation 2
substitute 1 in 2
2x+2*[x+15] <=150--------> 2x+2x+30 <=150----> 4x <=150-30
4x <= 120---------> x <= 30
the width of the rectangular area is at most 30 ft
y=x+15
for x=30
y=30+15------> y=45
the length of the rectangular area is at most 45 ft
see the attached figure
the solution is<span> the shaded area</span>

Answer:
30 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Richard can build 15 snowballs in 1 hour
But 2 snowballs melt every 15 minutes
In 1 hour, the number of snowballs that will have melted is:
× 2 = 8
The number of snowballs that will have remained = 15 - 8 = 7
So 7 snowballs will have remained in 1 hour
For 210 snowballs to have remained, it will take:
× 1 = 30 hours.
