Answer:
(x + 5) m
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Area (A) = (x² + 8x + 15) m²
Width (W) = (x + 3) m
Length (L) =?
The lenght of the rectangle can be obtained as follow:
A = L × W
x² + 8x + 15 = L (x + 3)
Divide both side by x + 3
L = x² + 8x + 15 / x + 3
L = (x + 5) m
Please attached photo for explanation.
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is: (x + 5) m
