Answer:

Explanation:

The total area = 8 * 10 = 80 sq meters

The blue area = x^2

The left over part is 80 - x^2

So the question is what is the value of x that makes x^2 > 80 - x^2

x^2 > 80 - x^2 Add x^2 to both sides

x^2 + x^2 > 80 Combine

2x^2 > 80 Divide by 2

x^2 > 80/2

x^2 > 40 Take the sqr root of both sides.

√x^2 > √40

x > 6'32
