length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than its width. Its perimeter is less than 34 cm. Let w equal the width of the rectangle.
a. Knowing that the length is 5 cm longer than the width, write an expression for the length in terms of the width, w.
Width = w
Length =

b. Use expressions from part (a) for the length and width to write an inequality for the perimeter, remembering that the problem states that the perimeter is less than 34 cm.

c. Solve the inequality for w, clearly indicating the width of the rectangle.

Question

length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than its width. Its perimeter is less than 34 cm. Let w equal the width of the rectangle. 
a.	Knowing that the length is 5 cm longer than the width, write an expression for the length in terms of the width, w.
Width =     w  	
Length = 		 

b.	Use expressions from part (a) for the length and width to write an inequality for the perimeter, remembering that the problem states that the perimeter is less than 34 cm.  

										

c.	Solve the inequality for w, clearly indicating the width of the rectangle.
