1. **Problem statement:** A zoo keeper wants to fence a rectangular habitat for goats.
The length $L$ should be at least 80 feet, and the perimeter $P$ should be no more than 300 feet.
2. **Define variables:** Let $L$ = length and $W$ = width of the habitat.
3. **Write inequalities:**
- Length at least 80 feet: $$L \geq 80$$
- Perimeter no more than 300 feet: $$2L + 2W \leq 300$$
4. **Simplify perimeter inequality:**
$$2L + 2W \leq 300$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$\cancel{2}L + \cancel{2}W \leq \frac{300}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$L + W \leq 150$$
5. **System of inequalities:**
$$\begin{cases} L \geq 80 \\ L + W \leq 150 \end{cases}$$
6. **Graph description:**
- The region includes all points where $L$ is at least 80 (to the right of vertical line $L=80$).
- And points below or on the line $L + W = 150$.
- The feasible region is the intersection of these two.
7. **Possible solutions:**
- i. $L=80$, $W=70$ (since $80 + 70 = 150$)
- ii. $L=90$, $W=50$ (since $90 + 50 = 140 \leq 150$)
- iii. $L=100$, $W=40$ (since $100 + 40 = 140 \leq 150$)
Final answer:
$$\boxed{\begin{cases} L \geq 80 \\ L + W \leq 150 \end{cases}}$$
Possible solutions:
$(80,70), (90,50), (100,40)$
