[tex]\large\tt\color{darkblue}{Problem:}[/tex]A carpenter will build a house which has a floor area that is greater than 35 m2. He was instructed that the house to be built has a length which is 2 meters longer than its width.
1. What is the mathematical sentence to be used in the given problem?
- A floor area is greater than 35m². The length is 2 meters longer than it's width.
2. What is the possible dimension of the house to be built?
- The formula for the area of a rectangle:
- Area = Length × Width
- Set the Width to x, so length to (x+2)
x(x+2) > 35
(x-5) (x+7) > 0
x < -7 or X > 5
- The possible dimension of the house to be bulit is 48. {when x = b, Width = b, length = 8}
- The Answer Is 48m²
3. How did you come up with your answer?
