what's the perimeter going to be in terms of h and w?

this is all i got     If the perimeter of a rectangular picture frame must be less than 180 in., and the width is 26 in., what must the height h of the frame be?

anonymous · Answer

trace all the way around that rectangle I showed... how many h's and w's will there be?

anonymous · Answer

2 h 2 w

anonymous · Answer

yep  so the perimeter is 2h + 2w   and it's less than 180, so
 2h + 2w <180

anonymous · Answer

sub.s in the value they gave you for w and use algebra to solve the inequality for h...

anonymous · Answer

so the anser is 2h + 2w <180
