Question

The base of a triangular flower bed is 14 feet. The area of the flower bed is no more than 112 square feet. Represent possible heights of the flower bed using a graph.

 

How do I solve this step by step?

Answer 1

112 ≥ 14h

 

Can you solve for h and answer?

Answer 2

Area of a triangle is (1/2)(base)(height)

 

A = (1/2)bh

A = (1/2)(14)h

A = 7h

 

We are told the area is NO MORE THAN 112 ft²

 

7h ≤ 112

h ≤ 16 ft

 

The possible heights will be  0 < h ≤ 16 with units being in feet
