Acarpenter needs to make 60 dowels. each dowel must be 6 inches long. the wood from which the carpenter will cut the dowels comes in 4 foot lenghts. what is the least number of 4 foot lenghts of wood the carpenter can buy and still make all 69 dowels

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

so the possibilities of the measurement of the side of the triangle are either it is longest side or not the longest side

when it is the longest side

s < 25 + 35s < 60

if it is not the longest side

35 < 25 + s10 < sso 10 < s < 60so the perimeter70 < p < 130
