Question

If the area of a rectangle is p2 - 17p - 38 and its length is (p +2), then what will be its breadth?​

Answer 1

Answer:

breadth will be p-19

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = l*b

length = (p+2)

breadth = (x)

$p^{2} -17p-38$=(p+2) * x

$p^{2}-19p+2p-38$=x(p+2)

p(p+2) -19(p+2)=x(p+2)

(p-19)(p+2)=x(p+2)

x=p-19   (as p+2 was cancelled from both sides)
