Question 1100986: Molly is designing a dog house for her puppy that has a rectangular base. The length of the base is 7 inches more than its width. She wants the area of the base to be atleast 375 square inches.
If w represents the width of the doghouse, write the inequality that can be used to determine the possible dimensions of the base of the dog house.
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
w = width
w + 7 = length {length is 7 more than the width}
Area of rectangle = width x length
w(w + 7) ≥ 375 {area needs to be at least 375}
w² + 7w ≥ 375 {used distributive property}
