Question 1128281: The length of a rectangle is 10mm longer than its width. It’s perimeter is more than 80mm. Let w equal the width of the rectangle. Write an expression for the length in terms of the width. Use these expressions to write an inequality based on the given information. Solve the inequality, clearly indicating the width of the rectangle. Answer by Quadratic1600(28) (Show Source):

Ok so the length is 10mm longer than the width and the perimeter is more than 80mm.
Length = w+10
Width = w
So lets add the lengths
There are
w + 10
w + 10
w
w
= 4w + 20
we know what 4w + 20 > 80 so
4w > 80-20 = 4w > 60 = w > 15
Length = w + 10
Length = w + 10 >25
So I am guessing that the answer is Width > 15
Hope this helps
