Ok, I believe you would set the equation to be $$s<10 s ^{2}>49$$

and then what would I do

Vocaloid · Answer

I don’t recommend combining the inequalities like that especially because the inequality signs are in different directions

If s^2 > 49 we can take the square root of both sides to get s > 7

(Because s represents a length, s must be positive)
So we have

s > 7 and s < 10 what’s a number that satisfies both inequalities?

8

Vocaloid · Answer

Perfect, s = 8 works

or 9

Vocaloid · Answer

It’s only asking for one possible value so you can choose either 8 or 9
