Answer:

Explanation:

To find the possible length and breadth of the rectangle, we need to factor the given expression:

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

Therefore, the length and breadth of the rectangle can be any combination of (x-4) and (x-2).

For example, if we choose (x-4) as the length and (x-2) as the breadth, we have:

Length = x - 4

Breadth = x - 2

Conversely, if we choose (x-2) as the length and (x-4) as the breadth, we have:

Length = x - 2

Breadth = x - 4

So, the possible length and breadth of the rectangle are (x-4) and (x-2), and vice versa.
