Question

The perimeter of a square is at the most 22 feet . Let n represent the length of one side of the sqaure .
 Write an inequality that represent the situation
Of the length 2.5 ft , 4.8 ft, 5.2 ft, 5.8 ft, 6 ft, which could be the side length of the square?

The inequality is #4n <=22#

The possible side lengths are
#2.5# ft
#4.8# ft
#5.2# ft

The perimeter is the sum of all four sides. Therefore, the total of the four sides (#n#) must be #"less" "than" or "equal" "to"# #22# #"feet"# #4n <=22# #color(white)(.........................)# . . . . . . . . . . . . . The perimeter total can't be greater than #22# feet, so each side #n# must be no greater than #5.5# feet #22 -: 4 = 5.5# Of the given choices, all the lengths (#n#) that are less than #5.5# could be the side length of the square: #2.5# ft #4.8# ft #5.2# ft

undefined The inequality representing the situation is:

4n ≤ 22

The possible side lengths of the square among the given options are 4.8 ft, 5.2 ft, and 5.8 ft.
