Let 'x' denote the longer side of the rectangle and let 'y' denote the shorter side of the rectangle.

From the problem, we know that:
x > y
xy > 10

With some rearranging, we get that:
x > y > 10/x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that area of a rectangle is greater than 10.

Normally length would be bigger than width

Let l = w+d where d is the difference between length and width

Then area[tex]=w(w+d) >10\\w^2+wd-10>0[/tex]

This is a quadratic equation and solution would be

[tex]w=\frac{-d±\sqrt{d^2+40} }{2}[/tex]

width cannot be negative

w>0

If square then l=w = \sqrt 10 = 3.162

Shortest side of the rectangle is

0<w<3.162

then only we have w shorter than length
