Answer:

The width of the rectangle is x+2 and the length is x+4

Explanation:

Area of a Rectangle

Given a rectangle of width W and length L, the area is calculated by:

A = WL

It's given the area of a rectangle as:


A = x^2+6x+8

We need to express the area as the product of two factors and assign each factor as the width and the length.

Factoring


x^2+6x+8 = (x+2)(x+4)

Substituting:

A = (x+2)(x+4)

It means the width of the rectangle is x+2 and the length is x+4

The built rectangle is shown below
