campbell_st · Answer

well if the width is 29 ft let the length by l 

|dw:1438154232382:dw|

so if the perimeter must be at least 134 ft

$$2l + 58 \ge 134$$

solve the inequality for l

anonymous · Answer

38 > (or equal to)134?

campbell_st · Answer

well not quite 

$$2l \ge 134 - 58$$

then halve the answer

anonymous · Answer

I got 38

anonymous · Answer

2l +58 > 134
2l +58-58 > 134-58
2l>76
2l/2>76/2
L> 38

so part A is the inequality 

part B is the solution you just found

well done
