Question 28552: The perimeter of a rectangle is to be no greater than 300 in., and the length must be 125 in. Write an appropriate inequality, then find the maximum width of the rectangle. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter <=300
2l+2w<=300
l+w<=150
But l=125 in.
Therefore:
125+w<=150
So, w<=25 in.
The maximum width is 25 in.
