The length of a rectangle is 26 units less than its width. Ifs is the rectangle's width, then its area is

Answer 1

Answer:

Option a, (x-26)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Length is 26 units less than its width, let the length be x, so the width is x+26, so it's area will be their multiplication,

x(x+26)

since the formula to find area is (length×width)

However thing to note, if you assume the width to be x, the the length will be (x-26), so here the area becomes (x-26)x

since here the length is less than width, (x-26)x is the answer we will use.
