The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. the long sides of the same rectangle are three less than an unknown number of inches.

suppose the area of this rectangle is less than 12 square inches. which of the following numbers could be the value of the unknown number? select all that apply.

a. 2 inches

b. 4 inches

c. 6 inches

d. 8 inches

e. 10 inches

plz !

A,B,C,D

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark the unknown number as x

Now the long side is x-3 inches

S=long side*short side=(x-3)*2=2x-6 square inches

S < 12 so

2x-6 < 12

2x < 12+6

2x<18

x<9

2<4<6<8<9

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
