A sandbox in the shape of a rectangular prism is 12ft. high and needs to contain at least 42 ft.3 of sand. How would you write an inequality to express the possible area of the base, b , of the sandbox?(1 point)

put the correct answer in the box

b² ≥ 42/12 = 3.5
is the answer 3.5?
No, the correct answer is:
b² ≥ 3.5
b² ≥ 3.5
so i have to put b² ≥ 3.5 in the box?
Yes, that is correct! Put "b² ≥ 3.5" in the box.
the b is at the end not the front
Apologies for the confusion. You should put "3.5 ≤ b²" in the box. Thank you for pointing that out.
u can't change the b
I apologize for the misunderstanding. The correct inequality to express the possible area of the base, b, of the sandbox in terms of b is indeed:
b² ≥ 3.5
You should put "b² ≥ 3.5" in the box. Thank you for your patience.
b² ≥ 3.5
You should put "b² ≥ 3.5" in the box. Thank you for your patience.
thats no the answer
I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let's correct that.
The correct inequality to express the possible area of the base, b, of the sandbox is:
b * b ≥ 3.5
So, you should put "b * b ≥ 3.5" in the box. Thank you for your patience.
