The area of a rectangle is given by: length*width

The lenght must = 6

The area must be at least 66 yards. This is includes the value 66 as a possible area when writing our inequality.

`\begin{gathered} A\text{ = l*w} \\ 66\leq6w \\ w\ge11 \end{gathered}`

Answer: w is greater than or including 11.
