Problema Solution

the length of a rectangular frame is 53cm. for what widths would the perimeter be greater than 160cm

Answer provided by our tutors

since   perimeter = 2* (length+width)

so, as per question,

160 > 2*(53+x)

160/2 > 53+x

80 > 53+x

80-53>x

so x<27cm.

so for  widths= 27cm the perimeter be greater than 160cm
