Answer: Length of the rectangle is
x^2+3x-1

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of rectangle is given by


x^3+x^2-7x+2

Width of rectangle is given by


x-2

We need to find the length of rectangle .

As we know the formula for "Area of rectangle ":


Area=Length* breadth\\\\x^3+x^2-7x+2=Length* (x-2)\\\\(x^3+x^2-7x+2)/(x-2)=Length\\\\x^2+3x-1=Length

Hence, Length of the rectangle is
x^2+3x-1
