Two opposite sides of a rectangle are each of length x. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 12, then the area, as a function of

Reil [10]

Answer: $x(6-x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two opposite sides of a rectangle are each of length x.

Let the other adjacent side be y.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 12 units.

Perimeter of rectangle is given by :-

$P=2(\text{Sum of adjacent sides})\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12=2(x+y)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+y=\dfrac{12}{2}=6\\\\\Rightarriow\ y=6-x$

The area of rectangle is given by :-

$A=\text{product of two adjacent sides}\\\\\Rightarrow\ A=xy=x(6-x)$

Hence, the area as a function x = $x(6-x)$
