Question 1041892: 1. The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is no more than 174 cm. What is the greatest possible value for the width?
(a) Write an inequality to model the problem. Explain why the inequality models the problem.
(b) Solve the inequality. Show your work.
(c) Answer the question.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter=2x length+2x width
In this case, the length is twice the width, so P=4 x width + 2 x width=6w
6w<174
w < 29 cm. ☺☺☺☺
