Problema Solution
An architect is designing a new lakefront cottage. He must consider the building codes in the design. The rectangular lot on which the cottage will be built is 220 ft long and has 110 ft of frontage on the lake. The building code states that a building must be no closer than 25 ft to the lot line. Write and solve an inequality to determine how long the cottage front facing the lake may be.
Answer provided by our tutors
let l = the length of the cottage front facing the lake
110 - l >= 2*25
110 - l >= 50
110 - 50 >= l
60 >= l
l <= 60
the length of the cottage front facing the lake must not be bigger then 60 ft.
