The area of rectangle RSTU is 36x2+25x−25. The length of the rectangle RSTU is 4x+5. Which expression describes the width of the rectangle RSTU?

Respuesta :

Given:

The area of the rectangle RSTU = [tex]36x^2+25x-25[/tex]

Length of the rectangle RSTU = [tex]4x+5[/tex]

To find:

The width of the rectangle RSTU.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

[tex]36x^2+25x-25[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]=36x^2+45x-20x-25[/tex]

[tex]=9x(4x+5)-5(4x+5)[/tex]

[tex]=(4x+5)(9x-5)[/tex]

We know that, the area of a rectangle is

[tex]Area=Length \times width[/tex]

Area of rectangle is product of (4x+5) and (9x-5).

Since (4x+5) is the length of the rectangle, therefore, (9x-5) is the width of the rectangle RSTU.
