Question

1. JP Construction is building a rectangular children's wading pool for the local community center. The pool will be 4.5 meters wide. To meet city building code guidelines, the area of the pool must not be larger than 8 square meters. Which inequality represents the possible lengths of the wading pool, where x represents the length of the wading pool in meters?

Answer 1

`x\leq 1.78`

Explanation:

We are given that

Width of pool, b=4.5 m

We have to find the inequality which represents the possible lengths of the wading pool.

Let x be the length of wading pool

We know that

Area of rectangle=
`length* breadth`

According to question

Using the formula

`4.5x\leq 8`

Divide by 4.5 on both sides we get

`x\leq(8)/(4.5)`

`x\leq 1.78`
