TopicInequalities

  1. A rectangular room has a width of \(x \mathrm {~m}\).
The length of the room is 4 m longer than its width. Given that the perimeter of the room is greater than 19.2 m ,
  1. show that \(x > 2.8\) Given also that the area of the room is less than \(21 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\),
    1. write down an inequality, in terms of \(x\), for the area of the room.
    2. Solve this inequality.
  2. Hence find the range of possible values for \(x\).
