Question 505454: The measured dimensions of a rectangle are given to the nearest whole unit. How do I find the minimum and maximum possible area of an 18 in. by 15 in. rectangle? Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The minimum would be 17.5" x 14.5" (this makes the dimensions as small as possible, while still rounding to 18", 15"). The maximum would be 18.5" x 15.5". Note that the 18.5" and 15.5" dimensions are not exact, but the dimension that is as close to 18.5" and 15.5".
