Question

The width of a rectangle is y feet long. The rectangle is 4 feet longer than it is wide. What is the area of the rectangle?

Which expression represents the area?

a.y(y + 4) sq ft
b.y + 4 sq ft
c.4y sq ft

Answer 1

Length of rectangle -> y+4

Area of the rectangle -> y+4 * y = y(y+4)

The answer is A.

However, y(y+4) can be simplified to y^2+4y.

Answer 2

☺️hey mate! here's your answer!☺️

since,

width of rectangle = y feet

then, if width is y,

length = 4 + y

area of rectangle

= length × breadth

= y ( y + 4 ) sq. feet ...answer

hope it is helpful ✌️
