Answer:

(7x + 27) units

Explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (has four sides) in which opposite sides are equal and parallel, also all the angles are equal. The area of a rectangle is given as:

Area = Length × Width

Given that the area of the rectangle is 21x + 81 and the width is 3 unit, to find the length of the rectangle, we have to use the formula of the area and then get the length. Therefore:

Area = Length × Width

21x + 81 = Length × 3

Length = (21x + 81) /3

Length = 7x + 27

The length of the rectangle is 7x + 27 units
