The area of a rectangle in square units is represented by the expression x^2+10x+16%0D%0A%0D%0AWhich expressions represent the length and the width of the rectangle in units?%0D%0A%0D%0ASelect TWO correct answers.
To find the length and width of the rectangle, we need to factor the given expression:
x^2 + 10x + 16
Factoring this expression, we get:
(x + 2)(x + 8)
Therefore, the possible lengths and widths of the rectangle are (x + 2) and (x + 8).
The two correct expressions that represent the length and width of the rectangle are:
- (x + 2)
- (x + 8)
