Answer:
Part A: 12 < 4
< 24 (OR 3 <
< 6)
Part B: the length
needs to be bigger than 3 ft but smaller than 6 ft
Part C: Because the area must be more than 12 square feet and the width is 4 feet, the length must be greater than 3 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
- Area of rectangle = width x length
We are told that the width = 4 ft
Let
= length
Therefore, area = 4
The area needs to be more than 12 ft² but less than 24 ft²
Therefore, 12 < 4
< 24
<u>Part B</u>
12 < 4
< 24
Divide everything by 4: 3 <
< 6
So the length
needs to be bigger than 3 ft but smaller than 6 ft
<u>Part C</u>
Because the area must be more than 12 square feet and the width is 4 feet, the length must be greater than 3 feet.
