It is known that 15.6≤P≤15.8. Find the possible values of the side of a square if P is the perimeter of the square.
Accepted Solution
A:
15.6 ≤ P ≤ 15.8The perimeter of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4, so P can be rewritten as 4s ( 4 times side length).Now the equation becomes:15.6 ≤ 4s ≤ 15.8Now we can solve for the values of S by dividing all terms by 4:15.6 / 4 ≤ 4s / 4 ≤ 15.8 /4Simplify:3.9 ≤ s ≤ 3.95The side lengths are between 3.9 and 3.95
