Question

The following expressions are the areas of rectangle find the possible lengths and breadths of these rectangle
(i) p^2 - 7p + 10
(ii) m^2 + 9m + 20​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Area of a rectangle = length × breadth

Now, factorising the given expression,

x

2

−7x+10

=x

2

−5x−2x+10

=x(x−5)−2(x−5)

=(x−5)(x−2)

Hence, the possible length and breadth could be (x−5) and (x−2)
