Question

Lily wants a square beach blanket that will cover at least 36 square feet of space. if s represents the length of one side of the blanket, what is the solution set of all possible values of s that will meet her needs? answer

Answer 1

Area of square = atleast 36 = length *width, where l = w (since it's a square)

If A=36, l = w = 6
If A = 37, l = w = 6.08
if A =38, l = w = 6.16

So the solution set is s => 6 (s is bigger than or equal to 6)
