The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area of the rectangle is less than 100 square meters, what is the greatest width of the rectangle? 4w + w < 100 4 + 4w < 100 4w < 100 4w • w < 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just do the normal formula of the area but with l being 4w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be the third?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well what's the normal formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't the know the formula for the area of a rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its l*w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would it be if you substituted 4w for l?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would the formula look like if you put in 4w for l? Not the end result, what the formula would be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4w<100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What happened to the other w?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that is correct
