Question

I need help on this please its really hard its due in thirty min

Answer 1

Answer:

L < 5.25yd

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of Mrs. Klein's composting area as a rectangle, and the formula for finding the area of a rectangle is Base * Height = Area (B*H=A)

Let's just say for the sake of solving the problem that they say that area of the garden had to be exaclty 6 square feet. Because the area must be 6sqft (sqyd = square yards) then we can enter 6 into our formula.

B*H=A now equals B*H=6

They also tell us that the width (which is a stand-in for height) is $1\frac{1}{7}$ so we can enter that in our formula as well

B*H=6 now is $B*1\frac{1}{7} =6$ and now we just have one unknown... the B (base)

And since $B*1\frac{1}{7} =6$ then $6/1\frac{1}{7} =B$

Thus,

$6yd / 1\frac{1}{7} = 5.25yd$

And because the question said that the area must be less then 6sqyd, then the length can be anything less then 5.25yd.

Thus,

L < 2.25

Hope that helped... Chow!
