Problema Solution
the area of a rectangle is not more than 800. the width of the rectangle is twice the length. what are its dimensions?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the width of the rectangle
l = the length of the rectangle
the area of a rectangle is not more than 800
l*w <= 800
the width of the rectangle is twice the length
w = 2l
plug w into the inequality
l*2l <= 800
2l^2 <= 800 divide both sides by 2
l^2 <= 400
l <= 20
w = 2l <= 40
w <= 40
the dimensions of the rectangle are: the width is not more than 40 and the length is not more than 20.
