Question

A rectangle has an area of (x - 17x + 72) square units. Since the area of a rectangle is determined using the formula, A =

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 17x + 72 = 0

Sum = -17

Product  = 72

Factor = 8 , 9

x² - 17x + 72 = 0

x² - 8x -9x + (-8)*(-9) = 0

x(x - 8) -9(x -8) = 0

(x - 8 ) (x - 9) = 0

Length = (x - 8) units

Width = (x - 9) units
