The length of a rectangle is four more than three times the width. If the perimeter of this rectangle is at least 70 square centimeters. Write an inequality that can be solved to find the width of the rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the triangle.

Let W represent the width of the triangle.

The length of a rectangle is four more than three times the width. This means that

L = 3W + 4

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

If the perimeter of this rectangle is at least 70 square centimeters, an inequality that can be solved to find the width of the rectangle is

2(L + W) ≥ 70

L + W ≥ 70/2

L + W ≥ 35

6w +8 ≥70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width

The length is then 3w+4 ("the length is 4 more than 3 times the width")

Since a rectangle has opposite sides equal, the perimeter would be 2(l+w) or 2(w+3w+4) which would be 6w +8.  If the perimeter is at least 70, that is, 70 or more, the inequality would be

  6w + 8 ≥ 70.  

The units, however, would not be SQUARE centimeters, just centimeters.  If the question were asking for area, the units would be square units, but since perimeter is a linear measurement,  the units would have to be linear.
