Question

A bedroom has a length of x+ 3 feet and a width of x-1 feet. Write a polynomial to express the area of the bedroom. Then calculate the area if x =10

Answer 1

Explanation:

Length = x+3

Width = x-1

Area = l*b

where l is the length of the bedroom

and b is the breadth or width of the bedroom

The polynomial can be written as:

Area=(x+3)(x-1)

Now we will find the area of the room when x=10

First we will find the values of length and width.

Length = x+3

Length = 10+3 = 13

Width = x-1

Width = 10-1=9

Now put the values in the formula:

Area=l*b

Area=13*9

Area = 117 square feet....
