There is a rectangle with length 10cm and width 6cm, where all measurements are corrected to the nearest cm.
If the actual value of the perimeter is p cm, find the range of values of p.
Ans.:30<=p<34

Why the answer is not 30<=p<=34 ???
Please explain, thz!

Because the data are to be corrected.
If the length >10.4 e.g 10.45<--this will be corrected to 10.5 but not 10
the width >6.4 e.g 6.45<--also will be corrected to 6.5 not 6

So,we can know that ,the length and the width must be <=10.4 and <=6.4 respectively.

The greatest value of p =(10.4+6.4)x2
p =33.6.

Therefore the value of p must<34,it can not be equal to 34.

The range of length 9.5 <= x < 10.5

The range of width 5.5 <= y < 6.5

As p = 2(x + y)

Min. of p = 2(9.5 + 5.5) = 30

Max. of p < 2(10.5 + 6.5) = 34

So, 30 <= p < 34
