A rancher has 20 miles of fencing to fence a rectangular piece of grazing land along a straight river. If no fence is required along the river and the sides perpendicular to the river are $x$ miles long, find a formula for the area $A$ of the rectangle in terms of $x$. What is the domain of the function $A$ that makes sense in this problem?
