Question

A rectangular flower bed is enlarged so that its area increases by 24 ft^2. The enlarged flower bed is a rectangle and its area is x^2+11x+24 ft^2.

Which two expressions represent the dimensions of the flower bed BEFORE the increase?

x

x+11

x+3

x+3

x+24

x+4

x+6

Answer 1

we know that
The enlarged flower bed is a rectangle and its area is
x²+11x+24 ft²

the area of rectangle is=length*width
the area of the flower bed BEFORE the increase is---> x²+11x---> x*(x+11)
so
the dimensions are
x
and
x+11

the answer is
x
and
x+11
