create a rectangle with two sides that are each longer than 9 centimeters, and whose area is 16 square centimeters?
:
Let the length be 9 cm, let the width be x
:
The area:
9 * x = 16
If the length is greater than 9 the width has to be:
x < 16/9
:
x < 1.777778
:
Check 16/ 1.777777 = 9.000004, slightly greater than 9
