Question 218152: the perimeter of a rectangle must not be greater than 30 cm and the length must be 8cm. What is the set of values of the width?

Answer by alicealc(293) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the length of the rectangle = l
and the width of the rectangle = w

perimeter <= 30
2*l + 2*w <= 30
(divide both sides by 2)
l + w <= 15
so, if l = 8 then
8 + w <= 15
w <= 15 - 8
w <= 7

so the width must not greater than 7 cm, or it can be said that the width is greater than 0 cm but less or equal with 7 cm (0 < width <= 7cm)
