Question

A rectangle has a base length of 12 inches and an unknown height, h. The area of the rectangle is less than 60 square inches. Which inequality can be used to model the problem?

12h < 60

12h > 60

12 + h < 60

12 + h > 60

Answer 1

12h < 60

hope this helps, its right because i took the test and it shows

Answer 2

12h < 60

Explanation:

A rectangle, with height h and base length l, has the following area.

`A = l*h`

In this question:

`l = 12, A < 60`

So

`A < 60`

`l*h < 60`

`12h < 60`

So the correct answer is:

12h < 60
