The width of a poster is 8cm less than the length. the perimeter is more than
184cm. if the measurements are both integers,
find the minimum dimensions of the poster.
:
Let x = the width
then
(x+8) = the length
:
The perimeter equation
2(x+8) + 2x > 184
Divide both sides by 2
x + 8 + x > 92
2x > 92 - 8
2x > 84
x > 84/2
x > 42
:
Make x = 43, then length = 51
:
Minimum perimeter 188 which is: 51 by 43
