Question

The length of a picture frame is 3 in. greater than the width. The perimeter is less than 52 in. How do you find the dimensions of the frame?

Answer 1

Width is less than 11.5 inches and the length is less than 14.5 inches

Explanation:

if the width is `a` then the length is `a+3`

So the perimeter is `a+3+a+a+3+a<52`

`4a+6<52`

`4a<46`

`a<11.5`
