Ti'a rectangular gaden has perimeter of 20 meters. She wants its area to be at least 24 square metesr. Find the interval for the possible length of Tia's garden.

Answer 1

if the garden is x by y meters,
x+y = 10
and xy >= 24
so,

x(10-x) >= 24
x^2 - 10x + 24 <= 0
(x-4)(x-6) <= 0
since the parabola open up, the graph is below the x-axis between the roots.

the roots are at x=4 and x=6
So, we need x <= 4 <= 6
Since usually the length is greater than the width, that means we should choose

√24 <= x <= 6

Answer 2

You are correct
