Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle = l inches

And width of the rectangle = w inches

Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 24 inches

(l + w) = 12

w = 12 - l --------(1)

Length of the rectangle is less than the width,

l < w

By substituting the value of w from equation (1),

l < 12 - l

2l < 12

l < 6

Since, length of the rectangle will be greater than zero,

l > 0

Inequality that best illustrate the domain of the length will be,

0 < l < 6

Option (B) will be the answer.
