To find the maximum width of the rectangle, we can use the formulas for the perimeter and area of a rectangle.
Perimeter = 2(length + width) and Area = length * width
Given that the length is 30 centimeters and the perimeter should be no greater than 70 centimeters, we can set up the equation:
70 = 2(30 + width)
Simplifying the equation:
70 = 60 + 2width
10 = 2width
width = 5
Therefore, the maximum width of the rectangle is 5 centimeters.
The maximum width of a rectangle with a perimeter no greater than 70 centimeters and a length of 30 centimeters is blank centimeters
