Question

Use an inequality to solve the problem. Be sure to show the inequality and all of your work.

A flag maker is making a triangular flag, but he must keep the sign under 40 square feet. If the base of the sign is 10 feet, what is the maximum height of the triangular sign?

Answer 1

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

here base is given as 10, so area = 1/2 x 10 x h where h is height
so area = 5h

5h < 40

or

h< 8

Answer 2

A > 0.5 (base) ( height)
40 > (10/2) (height)
height < 40/5 then height must be less than 8 feet

Answer 3

well done last one im postin
