1. **State the problem:** Harun wants to design a rectangular window with width 4 feet and an area more than 12 square feet but not more than 24 square feet. We need to find the length $x$ that guarantees the window is not too small.
2. **Write the inequality for the area:** The area $A$ of a rectangle is given by the formula $$A = \text{width} \times \text{length}$$
3. **Apply the given width:** Here, width = 4 feet, so $$A = 4 \times x = 4x$$
4. **Set the inequality for the area being more than 12:** We want the area to be more than 12 square feet, so $$4x > 12$$
5. **Solve the inequality for $x$:** Divide both sides by 4:
$$\frac{\cancel{4}x}{\cancel{4}} > \frac{12}{4}$$
which simplifies to
$$x > 3$$
6. **Interpretation:** The length $x$ must be greater than 3 feet to ensure the window area is more than 12 square feet.
**Final answer:** $$x > 3$$
