Question

a rectangular school gym has a length of x+14 and a width of x-20 which measure does (x+14)(x-20) represent

Answer 1

The area, which is L x W.
L = x+14
W = x-20
Therefore, LW or (x+14)(x-20) is the area

Answer 2

Answer: The area

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• Length: x+14
• Width: x-20

So, if we multiply both measures we will obtain the area of the school gym.  

Because:

Area of a rectangle = Length x width

Replacing with the values given

A = (x+14) (x-20)

In conclusion, (x+14) (x-20) represents the Area of the gym.
