Question

Matt and Emily are building a rectangular vegetable garden for their grandmother. They can use up to 60 feet of fencing to enclose the garden. Which of the following is a possible combination of length and width they can use to build the garden?
A. Length: 5 feet, Width: 26 feet
B. Length: 11 feet, Width: 20 feet
C. Length: 12 feet, Width: 17 feet
D. Length: 17 feet, Width: 14 feet

Answer 1

2L + 2W = 60

plug in L and W and see if it holds true


example A: L = 5 W = 26

2(5) + 2(26) = 62. 62 > 60 so A is NOT the answer. try the rest ^_^

Answer 2

actually it is an inequality

\[2L + 2W \le 60\]

answer might be less than 60 and it would be right

Answer 3

yeah idk it

Answer 4

its plug and play.. plug in the given L and W and see if it is less than 60

Answer 5

I think it is C because if you plug them in it = 58 and all the others when you plug them in = 62
