A square has sides of length s. A rectangle is 6 inches shorter and 1 inch longer than the square. Which of the following expres

Semmy [17]

Answer: Area of rectangle can be given by expressions:

$(s-6)(s+1)\text {and }s^2-5s-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A square has sides of length s.

According to the question,

Dimensions of new rectangles=(s-6)×(s+1)

Thus, Area of rectangle= (s-6)×(s+1)

$=s^2-6s+s-6\\\Rightarrow\ s^2-5s-6$

Thus , area of rectangle can be given by expressions:

$(s-6)(s+1)\text {and }s^2-5s-6$
