Let b be the length of the base of the parallelogram. The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula A = b*h, where A is the area, b is the length of the base, and h is the height.
Given that h = 25 cm and the maximum allowed area is 1,000 cm^2, we can write the following inequality:
b * 25 <= 1000
Dividing both sides by 25:
b <= 40
Therefore, the inequality to express the possible length of the base of the parallelogram is:
b <= 40
Gus is knitting a scarf in the shape of a parallelogram. The height of the parallelogram will be 25 cm. He only has enough yarn to knit a maximum area of 1,000 cm2 . How would you write an inequality to express the possible length of the base, b , of the parallelogram?
