-One side of a rectangle is 4 times the other, and the perimeter is not to exceed 130. Find the possible values for $x$, the length of the shorter side.
A) $\mathrm{x} \leq 13$ 
B) $0<\mathrm{x} \leq 13$ 
C) $x \geq 52$

Let the shorter side be $x$ and the longer side be $4x$. The perimeter $P = 2(x + 4x) = 10x$. For $P \leq 130$, we have $10x \leq 130$, leading to $x \leq 13$. Since $x$ represents a length, it must be greater than 0, hence $0 < x \leq 13$.
