Question

The area of a rectangle is given. Use factoring to find the expressions for the missing dimensions.

hintHint:

  • The area of rectangle is the product of its length and width.

The correct answer is: The length will be 6x Width will be (x - 3)


    • We have been given a diagram of rectangle in the question
    • We have also been given the area of the rectangle that is-
    • We have to use factoring to find the expressions for the missing dimensions.
    Step 1 of 1 :
    We have given the area of a rectangle 6 x squared minus 18 x
    After factorization, we will get

     6 x squared minus 18 x

    6 x left parenthesis x minus 3 right parenthesis
    So,
    The length will be 6x
    Width will be (x - 3)
