Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is less than 70 ft. The length of the rectangle is 5 ft longer than its width.
Write an equation representing the length (L = length) of the rectangle in terms of Its width.

L = 5w

b) The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is 2W + 2L = P

W is the width, L is the length, and P is the perimeter. Write an inequality using the formula (plug in the value of L found in part a, the value of P, and replace the equal sign with the appropriate inequality symbol).

c) Simplify the inequality to find width of the rectangle.

thanks

Answer 9

yup no problem

Answer 10

The length is 5 ft longer than the width --> L = W + 5 . . . that's one equation that describes length in terms of width.

The perimeter is twice the length + twice the width --> 70 = 2L + 2W

Subtracting 2W from both sides--> 70 - 2W = 2L

Divide both sides by 2--> 35 - W = L . . . that's another equation that describes length in terms of width.

Answer 11

does that help any?

Answer 12

not really. i need to make an inequality

Answer 13

ok but you have to figure out the length and width before doing an inequality

Answer 14

do you go to flvs?
