Question

A delivery service defines a "package" as a parcel for the sum of the length and the girth is less than 70 in (length is the longest side of the package and the girth is the distance around the other two sides of the package) a box has a fixed girth of 24 in. Determine those lengths for which the box is considered a "package"​

Answer 1

• Between 0 and 46 in

Explanation:

As per definition of the package

• g + l < 70 in, where g- girth and l- length

Given the value of g

• g = 24 in

So the value of l should be

• 24 + l < 70
• l < 70 - 24
• l < 46 in

To be considered a package the length to be less than 46 in
