Recall

Bounds in calculations — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

A rectangle has recorded length 15 cm and width 7 cm. Each was independently rounded to the nearest \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{10}\) cm. Both true dimensions are positive.

Find a lower bound for the rectangle area in \(\displaystyle \mathrm{cm}^{2}\).

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
