Question

A rectangle has an area of (x2 − 17x + 72) square units. Since the area of a rectangle is determined using the formula, A = lw, what could be the length and width of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

LENGTH IS ( X - 8 )

BREADTH IS ( X - 9 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

$area = ( {x}^{2} - 17x + 72) \\ = {x}^{2} - 9x - 8x + 72 \\ \\ = x(x - 9) - 8(x - 9) \\ \\ = (x - 8)(x - 9).$
