{\huge {\mathfrak {Answer :-}}}

Let, the length be l and breadth be b.

So, 2(l + b) = 26

Or, l + b = 13

Or, l = 13 - b

So, we may write like this,

Area = l * b

Or, l * b > 30

Or, l (13 - l) > 30

Or, 13l - l^2 > 30

Or, l^2 - 13l + 30 > 0

Or, l^2 - 3l - 10l + 30 > 0

Or, l(l - 3) - 10(l - 3) > 0

Or, (l - 3)(l - 7) > 0

Or, l - 7 > 0

Or, l > 7.

Now, putting the value of l,

We get, l * b > 30

Or, 7 * b > 30

Or, b > 30/7

➡️ Therefore, we get,

Length > 7

Breadth > 30/7


<b> That's it..
