Mike wants to fence in part of his backyard. He wants the length of the fenced-in area to be at least 20 feet long, l ≥ 20. He has 200 feet of fencing. The inequality that models the possible perimeter of the yard is 2l + 2w ≤ 200.

Answers:

w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft > second option

w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft > third option

w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft > fifth option

Explanation:

We are given that:

length should be at least 20 > length ≥ 20

equation for perimeter is : 2l + 2w ≤ 200

We will check each option as follows:

Option 1:

w = 50 ft and l = 10 ft

This option is incorrect as the proposed length is less than 20.

Option 2:

w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(10) = 100 + 20 = 120 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

Option 3:

w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(60) + 2(20) = 120 + 40 = 160 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

Option 4:

w = 90 ft and l = 30 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(30) + 2(90) = 60 + 180 = 240 > 200

The second condition is not satisfied.

This option is incorrect

Option 5:

w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(40) = 100 + 80 = 180 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct
