Question

The area of a triangle must be at most 32.5sq in. The base is 13in and the height is x inches. Find the possible value of x. Use an inequality to solve the problem.

Answer 1

okay so area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

we are given that area is 32.5sq in

at most means that it is its maximum limit

so
32.5 ≤ 1/2 * x* 13

65 ≤ 13x

5 ≤ x

Answer 2

\[\le\] what is this mean

Answer 3

what does that symbol mean \[\le\]

Answer 4

it means that the area is equal or less than 1/2 * base*height
