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.
