Question

Handrail should be mounted 34 inches minimum and 38 inches maximum above ramps. Which inequality represents the required height?

Answer 1

Answer:

$34 \leq x \leq 38$

Step-by-step explanation:

34 inches minimum

This means that x has to be at least 34, that is:

$x \geq 34$

38 inches maximum

This means that x can be at most 38, that is:

$x \leq 38$

Which inequality represents the required height?

The intersection of 34 minimum and 38 maximum is:

$34 \leq x \leq 38$
