Question

The area of this rectangle is 3x2. What does the coefficient 3 mean in terms

Answer 1

The coefficient 3 means the length is 3 times the width ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = l × w, where

• l is the length of the rectangle
• w is the width of the rectangle

∵ The width of the rectangle is x

∴ w = x

∵ The length of the rectangle is 3x

∴ l = 3x

- That means the length of the rectangle is 3 time the width

  because x × 3 = 3x

∴ Area of the rectangle is A = 3x × x

∵ x × x = x²

∵ 3 × 1 = 3

∴ A = 3x²

∴ The coefficient 3 means the length is three times the width

The coefficient 3 means the length is 3 times the width
