Answer:

x - 2 and x - 1 can be possible length and width of the rectangle.

Explanation:

Area = x² - 3x + 2

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

To find possible length and width we can factorize the above expression.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

x² - 3x + 2 ( 2 = -1 × -2 )

x² - x - 2x + 2 ( 3 = -1 + -2 )

x(x - 1) + -2(x - 1)

(x - 2) (x - 1)

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

x - 2 and x - 1 can be possible length and width of the rectangle.
