Corrected Question:
The length of a rectangle is (t – 8) units, and its width is (t + 11) units. Which expression can represent the area of the rectangle?
Answer:
t² + 3t - 88
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rectangle of;
length = (t - 8) units
width = (t + 11) units
The area A of a rectangle is given by;
A = length x width ----------------------------------(i)
Substitute the given length and width into equation (i) as follows;
A = (t - 8) x (t + 11) [expand the brackets]
A = t² -8t + 11t - 88
A = t² + 3t - 88
Therefore, the area is
(t² + 3t - 88) square units
