Answer:

A) [tex]w\geq 10[/tex] and [tex]2l+2w\leq 72[/tex]

B) w=8 l=28

C) w=11 l=39 does not work

Step-by-step explanation:

An inequality is an equation that has a solution set or many possibilities for solutions. You write it with an inequality sign like[tex]\leq , \geq , < or >[/tex].

A) The width must be at least 10 which means it must be equal o 10 or greater.

[tex]w\geq 10[/tex]

The perimeter has the formula for a rectangle of 2l+2w=P. If the perimeter is no more than 72, then it is equal to 72 or less than it.

[tex]2l+2w\leq 72[/tex]

B) The width could be 8 and the length could be 28 since 2*8+2*28 = 72

C) The width cannot be 11 and the length 39 cince 2*11 + 2*29 = 100.
