Final answer:
To find the length of the table, divide the area by the width. The length of the table is x + 8 feet. Hence the correct answer is option A
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of the table, we can divide the area by the width. The area is given as x² + 13x + 40 square feet, and the width is (x + 5) feet. So, the length of the table would be:
(x² + 13x + 40) / (x + 5) feet
To simplify this expression, we can use polynomial long division or factorization. After simplification, the length of the table is x + 8 feet.
Hence the correct answer is option A
