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

Area=0.5*base*height
32.5=0.5*13*x
x=5 in

Answer 2

this is the situation, when area is maximal. so, if you want area to be 32.5 or less, the answer would be
\[0<x \le5\]

Answer 3

Sounds good, thank you
