Answer:

<em>Any width less than 3 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The garden plot will have an area of less than 18 square feet. If L is the length of the garden plot and W is the width, the area is calculated by:

A = L.W

The first condition can be written as follows:

LW < 18

The length should be 3 feet longer than the width, thus:

L = W + 3

Substituting in the inequality:

(W + 3)W < 18

Operating and rearranging:

W^2 + 3W - 18 < 0

Factoring:

(W-3)(W+6)<0

Since W must be positive, the only restriction comes from:

W - 3 < 0

Or, equivalently:

W < 3

Since:

L = W + 3

W = L - 3

This means:

L - 3 < 3

L < 6

The width should be less than 3 feet and therefore the length will be less than 6 feet.

If the measures are whole numbers, the possible dimensions of the garden plot are:

W = 1 ft, L = 4 ft

W = 2 ft, L = 5 ft

Another solution would be (for non-integer numbers):

W = 2.5 ft, L = 5.5 ft

There are infinitely many possible combinations for W and L as real numbers.

Answer:

Question 9

(a) The distance, Jalaj walks in one day is 4.4 km

(b) The amount Jalaj raises after walking for 22 km at the end of the 5 days is $8

Question 10

(b) The difference between the largest and smallest areas is 2,400 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 9

(a) The distance Jalaj walks in 5 days = 22 km

Whereby Jalaj walks equal distance every day, we have;

The distance, Jalaj walks in one day = 22 km/5 days = 4.4 km/day

The distance, Jalaj walks in one day = 4.4 km

(b) The amount he raises for every kilometer he walks = $1.60

The amount he raises after walking for 22 km at the end of the 5 days = 5 × $1.60  = $8

Question 10

(b) The given side length of the square = 120 meters to the nearest 10 meters

Therefore;

The maximum dimension for the side length of the square = 120 + 10/2 = 125

The largest possible area of the square, A_l = 125 m × 125 m = 15,625 m²

The minimum dimension for the side length of the square = 120 m - 10 m/2 = 115 m

The smallest possible area of the square, A_s = 115 m × 115 m = 13,225 m².

The difference between the largest and smallest areas, A_l - A_s = 15,625 - 13,225 = 2,400 m².

What is the area of this figure?​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.
