A rectangle has an area of (x2 − 17x + 72) square units. Since the area of a rectangle is determined using the formula, A = lw,

what could be the length and width of the rectangle?
length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
length = (x + 9) units and width = (x + 8) units
length = (x − 6) units and width = (x − 12) units
length = (x + 12) units and width = (x + 6) units

Answer:

length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor

x^2 - 17x + 72

We need two numbers whose product is 72 and whose sum is -17.

The numbers are -8 and -9.

x^2 - 17x + 72 = (x - 8)(x - 9)

Answer: length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
