A rectangular school gym has a length of x + 14 and a width of x- 20. Which
measure does (x + 14)(x - 20) represent?
O
A. The area of the gym
O
B. The perimeter of the gym
C. The volume of the gym
O
D. The height of the gym

Answer 1

A. The area of the gym

Explanation:

the statement give us:

length = x + 14

width= x- 20

we can write:

length = a

width = b

so we know:

perimeter of a rectangle= a+b

area of a rectangle =a*b

so we have:

area of a rectangle = (x+14)(x-20)

The area of the gym= (x+14)(x-20)
