Question

The area of a rectangular pool table is: x2 + 14x +40. What are the dimensions of the table?

Formula: Area = (L) (W)

A(x + 8)(x + 5)
B(x + 20)(x - 2)
C(x + 4)(x + 10)
D(x +14)(x + 40)​

Answer 1

the width is (x + 4) and the length is (x + 10)

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by A = L * W, where L is the length and W the width.

If we factor the given x^2 + 14x + 40, we get (x + 10)(x + 4). Thus, the width is (x + 4) and the length is (x + 10).
