Maria and josie are also figuring out the dimensions of the runners’ corral at the start line. to accommodate the number of projected runners, they’ve determined that they need a minimum area of 29,040 square feet in the corral. they have 1,364 feet of temporary fence barriers to set up the corral. they are leaving one end of the rectangular corral open as to allow the runners to enter.

when the race is about to start, maria and josie will remove the fencing barriers on the start line. create an inequality that represents the relationship between the area of the space and the length of fencing needed.

also, would a length of 650 feet meet the requirements for the runners’ corral? if so, what would the width be? justify your response with calculations.
