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
x+y = 10
and xy >= 24
so,
x(10-x) >= 24
x^2 - 10x + 24 <= 0
(x-4)(x-6) <= 0
