Question 268

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A landscaping team plans to build a rectangular garden that is between 240yd2240 \mathrm { yd } ^ { 2 } and 360yd2360 \mathrm { yd } ^ { 2 } in area. For aesthetic reasons, they also want the length to be 1.21.2 times the width. Determine the restrictions on the width so that the dimensions of the garden will meet the required area. Give exact values and the approximated values to the nearest tenth of a yard.


A) The width should be between 415yd4 \sqrt { 15 } \mathrm { yd } and 610yd6 \sqrt { 10 } \mathrm { yd } . This is between approximately 15.5yd15.5 \mathrm { yd } and 19.0yd19.0 \mathrm { yd } .
B) The width should be between 102yd10 \sqrt { 2 } \mathrm { yd } and 103yd10 \sqrt { 3 } \mathrm { yd } . This is between approximately 14.1yd14.1 \mathrm { yd } and 17.3yd17.3 \mathrm { yd } .
C) The width should be between 430yd4 \sqrt { 30 } \mathrm { yd } and 125yd12 \sqrt { 5 } \mathrm { yd } . This is between approximately 21.9yd21.9 \mathrm { yd } and 26.8yd26.8 \mathrm { yd } .
D) The width should be between 20yd20 \mathrm { yd } and 106yd10 \sqrt { 6 } \mathrm { yd } . This is between approximately 20.0yd20.0 \mathrm { yd } and 24.5yd24.5 \mathrm { yd } .
