The vertex gives the minimum value of the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has l+w = 10 and it has an area pf y=x (10-x). The vertex of the parabola since it is positive will be a minimum value. The coordinates (x, y) of the vertex mean the x value (length or width) for the y value or area. This is the minimum area that can be.
