Question

The area of a rectangle is square units. Factor this expression. Given your answer in part A, describe what you can conclude about the dimensions of the rectangle in two or more complete sentences.

Answer 1

The factored area of the rectangle=2(2w-5)

Area of a rectangle=length×width

Explanation:

Area of rectangle is 4w - 10 square units

We have to factor the expression

Area of rectangle = 4w - 10

common factor=2

Area of rectangle = 2(2w - 5)

Thus the given expression is factored

Area of a rectangle=length × width

Area of the rectangle=2×(2w-5)

Thus, it is safe to say

The length=2 or (2w-5)

The width=(2w-5) or 2
