The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 inches. If the length of the rectangle is less than the width of the
rectangle, which of the following best illustrates the
domain for the length of this rectangle?

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle = l inches

And width of the rectangle = w inches

Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 24 inches

(l + w) = 12

w = 12 - l (1)

Length of the rectangle is less than the width,

l < w

By substituting the value of w from equation (1),

l < 12 - l

2l < 12

l < 6

Since, length of the rectangle will be greater than zero,

l > 0

Inequality that best illustrate the domain of the length will be,

0 < l < 6

Option (B) will be the answer.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
