Question

Tonya has a rectangular rug as shown. The rug is 4 feet longer than it is wide. (Part A) Create an expression that can be used to determine the length and the width of the rug. Write your answers in terms of x .

Answer 1

Answer: $x(x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The rug is 4 feet longer than its width

Suppose the length of the width is x

Length is given by x+4

So, the product of length and width is equal to the area of the rug

$\Rightarrow x\left(x+4\right)=A\quad\quad [\text{A=Area of rug}]$
