Hi Sri,

You can deal with Fact 2 in the same way that you deal with Fact 2: by TESTing Values.

Here, you have to be a bit more critical of the possibilities though:

Fact 2: the diagonal of the rectangle is less than 10

A diagonal line inside of a rectangle will create right triangles, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to figure out what the two sides COULD BE.

A^2 + B^2 < 100

To make the area as small as possible, we'll want one side to be really big and one side to be really small.

A = tiny fraction
B = Almost 10

Area = (tiny fraction)(Almost 10) = something less than 10
The answer to the question is YES

To make the area as big as possible, we'll want the two sides to be equal in length.

A = Almost root50
B = Almost root50

Area = (Almost root50(Almost root50) = Almost 50
The answer to the question is NO
Fact 2 is INSUFFICIENT
