Arectangular flowerbed at a city park has an area of 126 square meters. the width of the flowerbed is 3 meters. what is the perimeter of the flowerbed?

First we need to find the length. So we do 126/3 to get 42. The length is 42. Now to find perimeter we do 2(42)+2(3) or 42+42+3+3.

Both ways are right ways. The perimeter is 90 meters.

Hope that helps!!

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
