If the width were exactly 26 meters, then the length would be 30 meters (4 larger) and the perimeter would be exactly.

That tells us that if the width were less than 26 meters, the perimeter would be less than 112.

But the perimeter must be at least 112, in other words, greater than or equal to 112.

So which of your answers fits this condition?
