Answer:
#16 answer is D
#12 answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason #16 is D is because, if the variable "Y" is 1.5 then that would make the inequality 7.5 > 14. This is NOT true. If "Y" were 2, then it would be 10 > 14. This is NOT true either. If "Y" were 2.8, then that would make it 14 > 14. THIS IS NOT true either. BUT if it was 3, then that would make it 15 > 14. Which IS true.
Now the reason #12 is A is because the sign " [tex]\geq[/tex] " means "Greater than or equal to, no less then." And the SHORTEST/ Minimum height is 42[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches.
Hope this helps!
