or in the interval....???
-----
length + width = 105
length * width <= 2250
------
Substitute for "length" and solve for "width"::
(105-width)*width <= 2250
----
-w^2 + 105w - 2250 <= 0
------
w^2 - 105w + 2250 >= 0
------
Equality::
width = 30 or 75
----
If width < 30, then length is > 75
If width > 30, then lenght is < 75
