A rectangular corral of 52 square meters is to be fenced off and then divided by a fence into two sections, as shown in the figure to the right. If the cost of fencing for the boundary is $10 per meter and the dividing fence costs $6 per meter, find the dimensions of the corral that minimize the cost of the fencing. The dimensions that minimize the cost of the fencing are x= |and w = meters. (Simplify your answers, including any radicals. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expressions.)
