Answer:

Because the length is 10 cm, we know that there are two side lengths in a rectangle, so let's add another 10 and hold onto 20 cm.

Now, we need to find what is 74 - 20 to find the other two side lengths that are possible to make the perimeter 74 cm.

44 cm divided by 2 is 22, so the perimeter needs to be greater than 22 centimeters to make the perimeter greater than 74.
